On Thursday, May 8, 2025, Gaffney performed a live painting at the opening of the Louisiana State Museum’s exhibition Pioneers of Women’s Carnival. This exhibition honors the trailblazing women who shaped the history of Mardi Gras, spotlighting influential all-female krewes such as Iris, founded in 1917 and now the oldest and largest women’s Carnival krewe, and Venus, the first women’s parading krewe established in 1940. The exhibition features historic costumes, photographs, and artifacts that celebrate the evolution of women's roles in Carnival traditions.
Gaffney’s live painting will serve as a dynamic tribute to these pioneering women, capturing the essence of their contributions to Mardi Gras culture. Her performance will not only provide a visual centerpiece for the event but also continue the tradition of women artists actively shaping and celebrating Louisiana’s rich cultural heritage.
