March 5 Women have been expected to inspire rather than create since antiquity. Think about the way artists often speak of their "muses," alluding to the nine Muses of Greek mythology: Calliope, Clio, Euterpe, Erato, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Thalia, and Urania were each a personification of a different type of art, and their role was to inspire the (male) artists of ancient Greece. Even in recent years, there's the modern "muse" interpretation in the 1980s Olivia Newton-John movie "Xanadu," where the protagonist gains success only after being "kissed by a muse." So when do women get to create for themselves, rather than facilitating the creation of others? Kick off Women's History Month with a screening of Academy Award-winning producer Pamela Tanner Boll's documentary "Who Does She Think She Is?" hosted by the Feminist Art Project-Baltimore. Trace the lives of five female artists, and watch an actress-singer, a painter, a printmaker, and two sculptors work through not only their economic-creative balance as artists, but also their work-life balance as mothers. Finally, consider the basic question: How does our society value women's art today? 5:30 p.m., Maryland Women's Heritage Center, 39 W. Lexington St., facebook.com/tfap.bmore, free. (Jessica Kim Cohen)
