Workshops & Gatherings in Virginia City
Join us for a fun and creative girls night at the Cowgirl Art Collective in Virginia City! Our Cowgirl Maker Meetups are monthly gatherings for creative women, artists, makers, and anyone who wants to spend an evening creating, connecting, and meeting new friends.
These meetups are designed to be casual, welcoming, and beginner-friendly, whether you already consider yourself creative or you just want a fun night out in an inspiring space. Each month, we’ll feature a different easy and enjoyable craft that gives you a chance to relax, make something with your hands, snack, visit, and network with other women in the Western and creative community. No experience is needed. Just come ready to hang out, create, and enjoy a night surrounded by one-of-a-kind cowgirl art and western maker goods.
