About the Woman's Caucus for Art, Colorado Chapter Mural program
The National Women's Caucus for Art has only recognized one Colorado artist as part of their Lifetime Achievement Award program. The Colorado Chapter took the lead to honor exceptional Colorado women artists by creating murals to celebrate their achievements and recognize their untold stories. The murals are designed to be portable and have been shared in multiple venues. They were painted by a team of WCACO artists over the past 4 years.
The number of Colorado women artists that deserve honors on the merits of their art is so great in number we needed to add another layer to our selection criteria. The artists chosen for this project have exceptional art and art practices representing many different mediums. These artists also contribute to their communities by elevating other artists, teaching, creating art districts, art coops and participating in other creative communities, making connections beyond their art.
