Inspiring Women of Northern Colorado opens Friday, March 1, at the Global Village Museum of Arts
and Cultures with free admission from 5-8 pm as part of First Friday Art Walk. The Hall Gallery exhibit
is curated by members of Living Her Legacy, a Fort Collins organization dedicated to recognizing the
contributions of local women.
“The mission of Living Her Legacy is to inspire women and girls to discover themselves in the many
talents, contributions, and achievements of women, both past and present,” said Patti A. Smith, Founder
and Executive Director of the nonprofit organization. “This exhibit showcases 48 women who have
made a difference in our community by demonstrating commitment, courage, and resilience.”
As visionaries for change, the 48 honorees serve as role models for both women and girls, and nearly
half of the women have ties to Colorado State University. The exhibition runs through May 25.
In conjunction with the display, Meet Impactful Women of Fort Collins will be presented by Smith from
6-7:30 pm Thursday, March 21. The program will outline women’s impact in the community, and
attendees will hear from Legacy honorees as well as girls who have participated in the education
programs.
Admission to the presentation is $5 per person, and reservations are requested at
globalvillagemuseum.org. Refreshments will be served, and registrants will enjoy free admission to the
Hall Gallery exhibit as well as the Museum’s other three galleries.
