The Latest from American Women Artists

Carrie Waller Abundance

“I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of the entries – scoring them, however, was difficult!  Almost half were pieces I would be happy to have had in the show though even my top tier choices equaled more than there was room for. Since only about 1 in 10 could be included I knew there was going to  be a lot of really fine pieces that wouldn’t make the cut. Thanks for inviting me to jury – It was an honor and an important task I took very seriously.” – Steamboat Art Museum Juror Rosetta

Congratulations to the following artists who have a painting or sculpture juried into Looking West: An Exhibition Highlighting Works by American Women Artists, at the Steamboat Art Museum in Steamboat Springs Colorado, May 24 – September 2, 2019.
