Living TRADITION

Individual and Collective voices of Women’s Caucus for Art Colorado

Exhibition Date: Spring 2023
Living TRADITION featured “Speak Her Name,” a mural series honoring influential Colorado-based artists Eppie Archuleta, Senga Nengudi, Elizabeth Spalding, Jean Smith, and Betty Woodman. These women shaped Colorado’s rich artistic landscape and continue to inspire future generations of artists.

The mural series was painted collaboratively by members of the Women’s Caucus for Art Colorado Chapter (WCACO). Living TRADITION showed paintings, drawings, and multi-media works by those individual artists. By placing solo works next to the jointly painted mural series, we celebrated distinct artistic voices coming together in harmony.
