Babe Walls, Adams County Pride
Babe Walls came to the inaugural Adams County PRIDE and painted seven murals with amazing local artists. Each wall was a collaboration between two artists, and a community wall gave young future babes space to create.
The walls are on display at Riverdale Regional Park for the next six months and will then be moved to new homes throughout the county. We’ll share those locations when they go on tour!

Living TRADITION: Individual and Collective voices of Women’s Caucus for Art Colorado
Living TRADITION features “Speak Her Name,” a mural series honoring influential Colorado-based artists Eppie Archuleta, Senga Nengudi, Elizabeth Spalding, Jean Smith, and Betty Woodman. These women shaped Colorado’s rich artistic landscape and continue to inspire future generations of artists.
The mural series was painted collaboratively by members of the Women’s Caucus for Art Colorado Chapter (WCACO). Living TRADITION shows paintings, drawings, and multi-media works by those individual artists. By placing solo works next to the jointly painted mural series, we celebrate distinct artistic voices coming together in harmony.
Participating Artists
Carol Bivins, Annette Coleman, Anne Emmons, Melody Epperson, Susann Gordon, Susan Hershman, Haley Knowles, Jenn Merz CQ, Lisa Michot, Kathy OConner
The mission of the WCACO is to create community through art, education, and social activism. WCACO furthers this mission by providing members with professional development and exhibition opportunities and a network of fellow artists to collaborate with and learn from. Female-identifying artists from all backgrounds and career levels are welcome. Learn more at www.wcaco.org .
