FORT LAUDERDALE, FL.- “Game Face: What Does a Female Athlete Look Like?” is a book, a traveling exhibition and an educational outreach program. Now through September 10, it is here in South Florida at the Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami at 1301 Stanford Drive in Coral Gables.

Sponsored by MassMutual Financial Group and Oppenheimer Funds in conjunction with DBS Financial Group, the South Florida-based MassMutual general agency, Game Face is an extraordinary collection of photographs and rich personal stories that document the tremendous impact that sports have had on the daily lives of millions of women and girls.

When Title IX was passed in 1972, only one out of 27 school-age girls played sports; now one in three does. In Game Face, the book, author Jane Gottesman honors these female athletes and provides authentic role models for females, previously overlooked by the mass media and dominant male sports culture. Through the work of novice as well as famous photographers, photojournalists and artists such as Annie Leibovitz and Ansel Adams, Gottesman has compiled an inspiring collection of color and black and white photographs, text with first-person accounts and an illustrated time line of women’s athletic milestones.

Game Face, the book, was published simultaneously with the opening of the exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution and will tour the country for five years. DBS Financial Group is honored to be hosting the closing reception in South Florida on Friday, September 8.
