An alumnus of the University of Denver and a member of the modernist group The 15 Colorado Artists, Mary Chenoweth was a force in the artistic landscape of Colorado and the surrounding region. Chenoweth dedicated her time to travel, art, and shaping generations of young artists through her work as an instructor at the former art school of the Fine Arts Center and later as an instructor and professor at Colorado College. By the time of her retirement from Colorado College in 1983, Mary Chenoweth had visited the countries of Libya, Morocco, France, Austria, Switzerland, Australia, China, the Philippines, and many more wonderful places that left a lasting impact on her practice as an artist.
The Many Travels of Mary Chenoweth brings together a selection of Chenoweth’s work from the Fine Arts Center’s permanent collection and items from Special Collections at Tutt Library to explore the impact that global travel had on her art. This exhibition will feature artwork and ephemera relating to and inspired by Chenoweth’s travels across the globe beginning in 1958.
