Women’s Art Circle

Our vision is to gather like-minded women to explore the world of art. Whether you are an artist, art enthusiast, writer, musician, business leader, or CEO of your household, we want you to be a part of something interesting, meaningful, and, of course, fun! Proceeds from the Women’s Art Circle go to support youth education and outreach programs at CAE.

• Bi-monthly happy hour events, including gallery tours, guest speakers, fine and performing arts experiences, and the opportunity to meet, inspire or be inspired by other women
• Volunteer opportunities (CAE is always in need of volunteers for events!)

• Planning and oversight of CAE’s annual gala
• Leadership opportunities through signature events and committees
• Encourage and create opportunities for youth involvement in the arts
• Advocate for CAE and the arts in our mountain community

On Wednesday, January 29, we’ll be hosting our Women’s Art Circle kickoff right here in the CAE Gallery!! We’ve planned a deliciously fun night of interactive chocolate and wine tasting, and art making. We’ll start the night with a signature cocktail, then a chocolate and wine-tasting experience with Sugar Jones Curated Sweets and Gifts… and finally, Carmen Leigh Donowho, one of CAE’s resident artists, will lead all of us in painting our own trucker hats!

Chris Stevens, our new Exhibitions Director, has helped plan an amazing studio visit to Tina Susynski’s working ceramics/porcelain studio in Denver. Tina’s work is like nothing you’ve ever seen. She uses real plants—dipping and molding in clay and porcelain to create beautiful work. Check out photos of some of her work in this article: https://www.createmagazine.co/artists/tina-suszynski  Tina’s studio is shared with four other female artists, so we’ll get to see the work of some really talented women! And there will be a participation thing. Right now, we’re talking to Tina about all of us having an opportunity to dip plants or vegetables

We are so excited about this one-of-a-kind opportunity. The Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble has invited us to a private dress rehearsal of their new work: Unstoppable Legacy: Celebrating female voices. Past Present & Future. If you don’t know, Cleo Parker is a living pioneer in dance and the arts. Ms. Parker Robinson received a Kennedy Center Medal of Honor during the Center’s “Masters of African American Choreographers” series, and she has received King M. Trimble Community Award for service to the Denver community, among many other things.
