Our goal in this exhibition is to show the extraordinary depth and breadth of the women artists living and working in Colorado. 

We  recognize the significant lack of representation of artwork by women visual artists in commercial galleries and museums nationwide and in Colorado. 

Women comprise half the population and are currently only about 13-17% of the artists you can find in exhibitions.

And so we commit to the mission of elevating, encouraging 

and exhibiting Colorado Women Artists.

Our second exhibition in January 2024 featured artwork from four local collectors and highlighted the artwork of over 30 Colorado.

Our goal in this exhibition was again to shine a light on the  extraordinary depth and breadth of the women artists living and working in Colorado. 

We were delighted to have an afternoon talk with all the collectors present to speak about how and why they have collected what they collect. They also shared  stories about several pieces in their collections and what brought them to bring them into their personal lives. The common thread between them was the personal connection with the artwork and/or artist and what it meant to them to live with these works.

Our inaugural exhibition in August of 2023 what jam-packed with the artwork of 80 Colorado women artists from the private collections of Annette Coleman, Carrie MaKenna and Jean Smith, who are Colorado women artists themselves. 

Our goal in this exhibition was to show just a snippet of the  extraordinary depth and breadth of the women artists living and working in Colorado. 

We also recognize the significant lack of representation of artwork by women visual artists in commercial galleries and museums nationwide and in Colorado. 

Women comprise half the population and are currently only about 13-17% of the artists you can find in exhibitions.

And so we commit to the mission of elevating, encouraging and exhibiting Colorado Women Artists.
