WCACO Reception at the Curtis Center for the Arts

An exhibition of WCACO women artists working in large format. Our title is an homage celebrating women creating and owning their space, taking up residence and becoming a force in their communities. Women expand their influence by becoming their most authentic selves. This year's jurors are Autumn T Thomas and Genevieve Waller. Autumn is an interdisciplinary wood sculpture artist. Her work challenges the boundaries of visual literacy: hundreds of cuts placed into the wood transforms it into soft, twisting forms, mimicking the endurance required to thrive amidst the oppression and marginalization of women of color. Genevieve is an artist and curator from Wichita, Kansas who creates photograms, sculptures, and installations that deal with excess, substitution, transparency, and the status of everyday objects. She is the founder and editor of the art journal DARIA: Denver Art Review, Inquiry, and Analysis.
