Women, Art and the Creative Process is a two-part series celebrating the creative spirit in Truckee on April 22 and April 24.

The two-evening series features the Tahoe-Truckee premier showing of the “Evelyn” panel discussion and art project.

Evelyn Brenner, 94, creates colorful, inspirational art by combining fabrics, paint, clay, buttons, beads and pearls.

Truckee resident Elissa Slanger, an artist in her own right, produced a 30-minute film, “Evelyn,” that will be featured at the event.

Slanger has also assembled artists to speak about their work. Hear from Brooke Bishop, Nancy Tieken Lopez and Eva Nichols who will speak about medium and palette choices, creativity and art.

Acclaimed muralist Susie Alexander will facilitate an upbeat and playful evening. Each participant will dive into texture, colors and diverse shapes to embellish and personalize a pre-cut one-dimensional hat and explore female archetypes.

The Sunday event is 7-9pm and Tuesday is 6-8pm. Both are at Cedar House Sport Hotel, 10918 Brockway Road, Truckee.
