Women in the Arts
We are so excited to announce our brand new Steps to Success: Women in the Arts event at the Weisman Art Museum on Saturday, October 25th.
We'll start the day with a special performance from Sarah White Music, a local songbird who inspires us with her genre-smashing sound. We'll learn and connect with a panel of women from all areas of the art industry, including Laura Zabel of Springboard for the Arts, Stephany Weiland of Making It With Stephany, artist Julie Stevens and Jan Elftmann of CorkTruck fame, to name a few. Inspired by these women, we'll create our own art!
A huge thank you to the Weisman for co-sponsoring the event!
This event is FREE and open to women and girls of all ages. Space is limited; reserve your spot today!

What should I expect? The event will include an inspirational spoken word introduction, a panel discussion by local women who are active in arts and creative expression and an interactive activity that will be a fun way for girls to make their own art. The event will conclude with time to explore the many artistic treasures at the Weisman!
Can parents attend? YES! Attending with your daughter is highly encouraged!
