The Center for the Arts Evergreen brings together two different groups of local artists, The Painted Toe Society and Artists with Altitude, in a collaborative exhibit from June 27 th to July 20 th, 2008. The opening reception will be Friday, June 27 th from 5:00pm to 8:00pm. Each group has asked each of their artists to submit 2-3 works of art.

The Painted Toe Society is a group of thirty artists who paint together weekly in shared studio space. The artists are from many corners of the Metro area and span multiple age groups and levels of experience. There are no lessons, but the passion and enthusiasm displayed by the group sets an atmosphere of camaraderie that is unique in the art world. The use of many techniques creates a cross-pollination of ideas which has helped to stimulate growth and individual expression.

Artists with Altitude is a group of dedicated women artists based in Evergreen, Colorado. The focus of the artists is to inspire and enliven each other's authentic expression in their diverse media. The artists work in oil, pastel, watercolor, acrylic, mixed media, jewelry and fiber art and have participated in various galleries and shows in Evergreen and Metro Denver. The artists meet on a regular basis to share information about new works, techniques, opportunities for displaying and selling our artwork and more.
