Windows to the Divine® is excited to announce the 10th year of Collectors for Connoisseurship (C4C), a unique nonprofit national collectors' network that supports its primary mission to engage and educate artists, collectors, and the public about the visual arts, and to affirm the calling of the living artist.
C4C members connect with fellow artists and collectors through online experiences and special events held during the annual C4C Arts Weekends located in Denver and cities around the country and abroad. Events include our biennial national art exhibitions, symposia, paint outs, collector salons and exclusive tours of artist studios and private and public art collections. Additional educational resources are also provided online via our Artful Conversations Blog with travel articles about museums and collections around the world and the Know2collect video library which provides videos on art history and collecting.
In 2023, the C4C Arts Weekend was held in Denver at Gallery 1261 and in 2024, the C4C Arts Weekend will be held in the Hudson River Valley in New York. As seen below, past C4C Arts Weekends have been held in Denver, NYC, Atlanta, Savannah, Paris and the Hamptons.
