Brainstorming, they discussed launching a new women artists collective in the Twin Cities. We have grown from initial meetings of five to six artists, to a thriving group of more than twenty women who meet weekly to discuss work and experiences, and to plan exhibits and activities. This grass roots group has been built mostly through word of mouth, but the need for such a group has been reinforced by the overwhelmingly positive response of the artists themselves. Many women have said, Yes, this is exactly what I have been looking for. We believe that by supporting each other as artists, we are supporting a women s presence within the art community, and through this we are strengthening this community.
Membership is based solely on willingness to participate and contribute.
This show is a reflection of our first few months of working together as a collective. Twenty-four artists will be exhibiting their work in mediums ranging from painting, photography and drawing to jewelry making, sculpture, and installation art. Please join us in this celebration of our work collectively, and as individual artists. Gallery hours are noon to eight daily through July 30th. ArTrujillo is located at 301 E. Lake St. Suite 01, on the corner of Third Avenue and east Lake Street in the basement of the International Bazaar.
