D'art Gallery in Denver will host "She Makes an Impression: Colorado Women Take a Look at Themselves," an invitational exhibition of self-portraits by over sixty Colorado women-identifying artists, from December 18, 2025, to January 11, 2026. Organized by the Colorado Women's Art Museum (CWAM), the show features works in diverse media including painting, printmaking, ceramics, fiber, mosaic, and photography, ranging from realistic depictions to abstract and non-representational pieces that explore personal experiences and emotions.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the often-underrepresented work of Colorado women artists and represents a significant step for the Colorado Women's Art Museum, which has exhibited nearly 300 artists since its first show in August 2023 despite not yet having a permanent building. By centering self-portraiture as a vehicle for personal and collective expression, the show underscores the growing momentum of women-focused art initiatives and the importance of community-driven cultural spaces in the region.
