A Different Kind of Opening Night

Last night several women (and a few men!) gathered for a WCA Night Out at Spirits in Alton. We chatted, ate delicious food and downed $3 cosmos. Christine, Evie, Pat, and I spent a couple hours on Tuesday afternoon taking down the “On the Wall” fiber show and putting up the new artwork: lovely landscape paintings by Evie Schuart and some beautiful fiber work by Pat Owoc.

Seeing the work hanging in the space yesterday made me realize how much talent we have in the WCA. Having the opportunity to sit down to dinner and chat with fellow members reminded me of how wonderful and inspiring it is to be in the presence of other artists.

Our WCA Nights Out at Spirits are different from usual gallery openings. I love the opportunity to enjoy each others' company and to network. I learned about a possible job opportunity, gained new perspective on what “art as activism” can mean, and enjoyed learning what the other women have been up to.

If you haven’t been attending the Nights Out, I encourage you to make the trek up to haunted Alton to hang out with us.
