Women's Art Center Changes
Posted By Gavin Sheehan on May 22, 2008, 9:53 AM
Some
of you may have heard about it, but for those who haven't, there's
some major staff changes happening over at the Women's Art Center.
The majority of their staff are packing up and headed out. And
of course I wanted to know why and find out what's happening to the
Center, so I gave our old friend Cat Palmer a buzz to see what the
story is. ---
Cat Palmer (with hubby Blake)
Gavin:
Hey Cat, how you been?
Cat: Really good and busy with
art and getting ready to have a baby
Gavin: What's
with the changes going on at the Women's Art Center?
Cat:
We have a new group of ladies coming in to take over The Women's Art
Center.
Gavin: Who is leaving from the group?
Cat:
Myself, Cat Palmer & Amie Tulius.
Gavin: What were
the reasons for the departures?
Cat: Well, I always
knew I wanted to resign in May since I have the Utah Arts Festival in
June and a baby at the end of August. We are all volunteers at TWAC
and Amie Tulius (current Director) dedicated the year she wanted to
to the Center. We had been looking for the right people for months.
Gavin: What's everyone going off to do?
Cat:
Amie is writing a book (she has her Master's Degree in this!) and has
her creative juices flowing. Amie is also getting married to this
fabulous guy named Jared.
Gavin:
Is anyone sticking around?
Cat: Yes, Erin Menut the
Yoga Coordinator is. 
Gavin: Who is coming in to
replace you gals?
Cat: Emma Ryder, Addie Ryder &
Jessica Fahey are taking over the Center and will be running from
June on. They are amazing women with an extensive background in art.
I am really excited to see where they take The Women's Art
Center
Gavin: What can we expect in the future from the
Center?
Cat: Definitely more cool new boutique items!
Regular business operating hours and new art from new faces and more
original ideas.
Gavin: What about you. What's on the
horizon?
Cat: I am focusing on more of my freelance
work with portraits and weddings. I am hoping to be a stay-at-home
mom and just do photography and art. I am expecting a baby boy at the
end of August beginning of September and could not be more happy.
Also, Iao Gallery has picked me up and is representing me. They are
located on 500 west next to Artspace. Come out and say hello at the
Utah Arts Festival June 26-29th. 
Gavin: Anything you'd
like to add about the changes?
Cat: Amie and I are
just so excited for Emma, Jessica & Addie. These women are so
intelligent, creative and driven. Tell everyone to watch out and
expect some amazing changes!
