Women Artists Unite!

Hello to my fellow women artists - Come join us to be part of a historic photo of women artists in Colorado!
We are gathering together for a large group portrait, to raise awareness and let our presence be felt. John Tonai ,Head of the Photography area at UNC in Greeley, has agreed to be our photographer for this event (so the women photogs can be IN the shot) - THANK YOU JOHN!

At the event, I will be passing out numbered pages so we can all hold them up and count ourselves easily... and so we can make a key for the photo later. (I will collect them at the end) We will ask for your email address as well - so we can send the final photo to everyone who is in it, and to make communicating about this easier if we do it again next year! Please RSVP so I know approximately how many pages to print.

We will also compile a list for "wish I was there" folks who can't make it this time - you are also welcome to join the list!

The DAM has agreed to allow us to meet in the second floor lounge above Palettes after the photo (in the Ponti wing) BUT not for free... to enter the museum, you still need to be either a DAM member, or pay admission (or find a member with an extra pass...) So we can gather after the photo to chat, and see if anything ELSE might arise from this gathering! (I will not be organizing anything else personally, but it will be great networking, if nothing else...)

PASS THE WORD! Invite all the self-identified women artists that you know - let's make this huge!

If you know any women artists who don't use social media, here is a shareable link to an EVITE for the event: http://evite.me/HVcNyGwgEZ - but please don't RSVP there if you've already marked "Going" here, or our count will be way off.

Here is the article about the event in LA that started the whole thing, along with the image credit:
