McCutcheon reflects on the classroom as a historic site of feminist transformation that links generations of women as artists, scholars, and educators. Situating her ongoing work to expand the visibility of women in the arts within broader histories of artistic pedagogy McCutcheon draws inspiration from Anna Held Audette’s life and legacy. She will discuss how teaching can serve as a catalyst for creative agency and social change and consider its critical role in shaping the future of the field.

**The Anna Held Audette Modern Ruins Fund was established by her family in 2024 to honor the artistic focus and teaching of Audette, a prominent precisionist painter of the later 20th century whose work shows that the triumphs of industry are only moments away from obsolescence. The Fund supports lectures, workshops, courses, and special events that explore contemporary thinking about preservation and abandonment in the American industrial landscape, and that honor Audette’s expertise in and teaching of printmaking and painting.
