Join us for the Autumn Luminary: an art making event and fundraiser in support of Women’s Studio Workshop. As we move towards the darker days of winter, we aim to shine a light on the experimental, enduring, and trailblazing work of WSW. Gather in community, and decorate a lantern with us to illuminate the way forward and support artists.

You may purchase a single Attendee Ticket for $110, or join us for a special VIP experience with a single Radiant Circle Ticket for $375. Details below.

ATTENDEE: $110
Join us at 4PM for an engaging evening of artmaking! Enjoy passed food and wine, a raffle draw, and end the night with a lantern lighting ceremony as a community!

RADIANT CIRCLE: $375
For a special VIP experience, join us upstairs for a private reception from 3-4PM! Experience a curated wine tasting from women-owned wineries by Bill Cranston from Boulevard Wine & Spirits with hors d’oeuvres from chef Lexa Walsh. Before you join the artmaking-melee downstairs, get inspired with an exclusive guided viewing of upcoming artists’ books in our archive with director Natalie Renganeschi. Radiant Circle members will also receive acknowledgement in our program.

ILLUMINATOR: $210
Make the night magical for a neighbor by sponsoring a seat! Your generosity covers the cost of attending for a local emerging artist, student, or community member, plus covers general admission for yourself. You’ll receive acknowledgement on signage at the event.
