About Me



_gaia is a collective of women, for women, for the making of textiles, clothing, printmaking, painting, architecture, music, film, photography, science, the performing arts, & writing, as well as to promote environmental, social, and political activism...all things which color the lives of the women involved. We actively promote and support the work of local women artists while developing programming to reach out to and help emerging artists in need of studio space, facilities, and resources. In our pursuit of awareness we also concentrate on activism, from the issues in the local community to global issues affecting the lives of women.
PS. If you have attended any of our events, either in the past or recently, please leave feedback. We at _gaia would love to hear what you think!
