2015 Collectors for Connoisseurship

The first special event for Collectors for Connoisseurship (C4C) was the C4C Denver Arts Weekend which was held from Nov. 13th-14th of 2015.  The C4C Weekend commenced with the Renaissance of Realism National Symposium held on Friday, November 13, 2015 at the Denver Art Museum from 12-5 PM.

Artists and collectors from around the country heard special presentations by Dr. Timothy Standring, curator of the concurrently running Wyeth Exhibition at the DAM and a joint presentation on the history of realism by Fine Art Connoisseur Editor, Peter Trippi and CDVF President, Shannon Robinson.  Symposium guests also participated in panel discussions with master realist artists Quang Ho, Robert C Jackson, David A Leffel, Sherrie McGraw, and Daniel Sprick seen below.
