My friends and I are building a community in Western Colorado, centered around Montrose — one that encourages creativity, friendship, and lifting each other up.
Earlier this year, during a pop-up gallery at the Montrose Art Crawl, I shared Jeanette’s Big Idea with anyone who would listen: to create a vibrant art community with a headquarters in an art school that would also offer studio space for local artists. It’s a dream I’ve had for a long time, but this year, it suddenly started to feel possible.
The photographer who joined me that evening loved the idea and offered to host our very first women’s creative guild meeting at her home. She made curry and tea, and together we began dreaming about what this could become.
My friends Elisabeth and Cally volunteered to help with the administrative side, and now — we’re officially meeting!
My Big Idea still has a long way to go, but the community is growing, and I couldn’t be more excited to see where it leads. If you would like to join, drop me a line. We are a pretty awesome group of fem/fem presenting folks!
