STREET TALK - Catlin is Top ATHENA Winner, Sycamore is Closing - COMO Business Times Sarah Catlin and Jayme Prenger were the winners of the Women's Network top ATHENA International Awards at a banquet on April 30.

Michele Curry's fabulous beaded handbag from CelebrARTy 2026 made an appearance on the arm of proud new owner Claire Van Doren at the Women's Network - Columbia Chamber of Commerce Athena International Awards this week.

We are so proud of our executive director, who was inducted into Athena International last night by the Women's Network - Columbia Chamber of Commerce. It's so lovely to see Sarah Catlin's service to our community in so many roles and ways being recognized.

Such a lovely surprise to run across this homage to Adrienne Luther and Michele Spry, Author's mural from CelebrARTy 2025!

Mural shows us what's possible with art, life and public space There is something quietly disruptive about taking an ignored surface and insisting it matters.

Come see us at Columbia Earth Day Festival until 6pm! You can support two of our artists-in-residence, too!
