Are you a lady? (Any kind of lady!) Are you a painter? (Any kind of painter!) Join us! It's free! Send three images of your work (no bigger than 4MB) to be added to the Lady Painter website and for projection on the wall at the Lady Painter party. Include a link to your website or Instagram (it's optional, no pressure!)

Chicago Lady Painters meets up several times a year to hang out. The last party was Sunday, November 24th 2024 from noon to 2pm at Goldfinch Gallery. The one before that was Friday, August 9th, 2024 from 7pm to 10pm at Heaven Gallery and the one before that was Sunday, March 24th 2024 from 1 to 4pm at Goldfinch Gallery. Our future party will be sometime in the spring of 2025. Please bring a small painting for our painting swap at the end of the party (completely optional, but lots of fun).

Chicago Lady Painters is the project of Gwendolyn Zabicki. Years ago, she attended the original Lady Painter Parties in New York hosted by Jenn Dierdorf and Kelsey Shwetz. The parties were named after the wild, glamorous biography of Joan Mitchell, written by Patricia Albers. Years have passed, but the goal remains the same- to create a place for genuine community, connection, and joy.
