The Fourth Annual Women's Studio Workshop Gala
We Look forward to you joining us Sunday November 6th, 2011
for Women's Studio Workshop's Fourth Annual Gala celebrating outstanding
women artists at Mohonk
Mountain House in New Paltz, NY. This year We are thrilled
to honor two incredible women: Carolee
Schneemann, renowned visual artist
and Hudson Valley resident, and Elizabeth
Merena, former Director of the
Visual Arts Program at New York State Council on the Arts.
In addition to supporting the Women’s
Studio Workshop, you may enjoy
a fabulous day at Mohonk! Gala guests are welcome to come early
and tour the historic grounds of this 142 year old National Historic Register
resort. Tour thousands of acres of pristine forrest and winding carriage
roads, rent a boat for a paddle on Lake Mohonk or book yourself a little
special time at the spa.*
When
dinner time arrives the chefs from Mohonk will prepare the finest of Hudson
Valley’s
seasonal bounty. Wines will be thoughtfully paired to ensure an unforgettable
dining experience. There will also be a few “shopportunities”.
Would you be interested in bidding on a ten night stay at a Tuscan villa?
Or perhaps a dinner party for 10 in your home cooked by a renowned chef?
We will offer a few amazing prizes for you to bid on and, most importantly,
100% of the auction revenue will help sustain the work of WSW, funding
residencies for woman artists.
WSW has taken the lead in supporting women artists since it's conception in 1974. We have been privileged to honor a roster of absolutely outstanding women artists. Funds raised at our past gals honoring Judy Pfaff, Mary Frank and Joan Snyder continue to inspire by funding WSW residencies for artists at all stages of their careers. With your support We look forward to fostering the creative sprit of woman artists emerging and established for many years to come.
