Register Now for Rural Women Everywhere

Register now for Rural Women Everywhere, a virtual two-day celebration of Rural Women Everywhere is a two-day event celebrating the voices, contributions, and leadership of women across the countryside. 

We’ll examine the ways rural and Native women are participating in the work of building more welcoming and inclusive communities. 

Programming will feature keynotes, roundtable conversations, and breakout sessions spotlighting women’s experiences and reflections. 

We’ll hear from women journalists, organizers and activists, indigenous leaders, artists and poets, lawyers and professors, faith leaders, and young women, who are building bridges and crossing borders to connect us to one another and the places we call home.

Register now to join other rural women and allies for this free event! 

Drawing Resilience: Maureen Hearty

Maureen Hearty transforms objects, space, and community, seeing art as a tool for action, education, and opportunity.

In Joes, Colorado (pop. 78), she is activating space using art, music, and the collection of story. In 2020, Maureen and her friend Kristin Stoltz were awarded an NEA grant for a project titled “Arts for a Prairie Seas: Farming Fluxus.”
