Join CUSWF on Sunday, October 4th at 2:00 PM ET at the Jewish Museum! Women of the Wiener Werkstätte sheds new light on the role that Jewish women played as artists, designers, patrons, and tastemakers shaping modernist aesthetics in early 20th-century Vienna and beyond. With more than 200 objects by some 30 Jewish women artists on view, the exhibition is organized thematically to reveal the extraordinary range and technical prowess of the women of the Wiener Werkstätte across mediums. A special emphasis is placed on Vally Wieselthier and Felice Rix-Ueno, whose prolific work, in ceramics and textile design respectively, has had lasting influence on these disciplines. The exhibition also provides a meaningful reintroduction to the work of artists whose work is less well-known today, and a platform for exploring their impact in the context of art and design histories.

Join us for an evening of laughter and song to lift your spirits.

China-US Relations 2026: The CUSWF Summer Interns explored the theme of ChinaMaxxing to better understand the yearning of young people in the United States to tap into beauy, health and life style choices in China. Is this part of a larger trend or merely this seasons' latest fad? What are the political, economic and social issues that are influencing this trend? In upcoming months, CUSWF will continue to explore this topic with experts and our community. We are also planning a symposium in Shanghai next fall 2027 to meet thought leaders and friends; match the hype with data; and experience Chinese cultural and lifestyle trends. Stay tuned for more information!
