Women’s Work is a first of its kind exhibition, increasing the recognition of Western women artists and makers, and women working in the West. Juried fine and traditional artists have been connected with women on working ranches. Artists will spend time on their chosen or provided ranch, learn from the women’s connection to family, land, plants, and animals, and create work for the show inspired by the people and places with whom they are connected.
Recognizing the intrinsic connections indigenous women have with their tribes, Women’s Work provides a platform and supportive space for indigenous women to authentically share their own stories. It strives to honor, amplify, and celebrate the traditions, culture, and narratives of Indigenous women, highlighting their unique experiences and deep connections to the land and its history as the original inhabitants.
Cowgirl Artists of America is producing Women’s Work in collaboration with the A.R. Mitchell Museum of Western Art in Trinidad Colorado, August 2 through September 30, 2024. The exhibition’s opening weekend, August 2 and 3, will include a reception open to the community, a luncheon for juried artists, sponsors, and patrons, as well as artist demonstrations, and artist and rancher panels throughout the weekend.
Opening Night is Friday,
