Lehrer is also the author of the acclaimed 2020 book, GOLEM GIRL, a memoir in the tradition of Hold Still by Sally Mann and Just Kids by Patti Smith. GOLEM GIRL tells the story of how the writer, born with disabilities, searches for a livable, subversive identity in a society afraid of strange bodies, ultimately becoming an innovative painter whose work honors beauty of all kinds. Her extraordinary portraits are interspersed throughout the narrative.
RSVP also includes free admission to the Museum and our special exhibition, For Dear Life: Art, Medicine, and Disability. To redeem, please present your RSVP at the front desk during your next visit.
