Paintings of 40 influential women in history are on display. The range of subjects is impressive, and includes architect Julia Morgan; “the mother of rock and roll,” Sister Rosetta Tharpe; Katherine Johnson, who calculated by hand the trajectories for the Apollo space missions; couture fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli; poet Maya Angelou; novelist and poet Sylvia Plath; aviatrix Amelia Earhart; Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg; and French writer, philosopher, and feminist, Simone de Beauvoir. This is a mere sample of the visual feast offered in the exhibition Groundbreaking Girls. Why “girls?” Because, says the painter of the portraits, Allison Adams, all women were girls at one time and these women, in particular, must have possessed a youthful idealism that built confidence.

Greeted with a Champagne reception, guests will enjoy live and silent auctions, a delicious lunch, fashion show, and the opportunity to pre-order from the collection.

Featured vendors include Premier Design Jewelry, Shaneh Boutique, M. Sorelle Boutique, Le Boudoir, Vicky La Jolla, Seam Reap, Aimee Fuller Hats, Bette Resort Wear, Chic Mommy, Highway Twenty-Nine, Hazel Grey’s Shop, Urban Paper, and more.

The Arc of San Diego presents a Salute to The Jewels of San Diego at The Speakeasy Gala. The evening will begin at 5:30pm with a cocktail reception and silent auction, followed by a world-class dining experience and live entertainment at 7pm.
