Getting to Know Modern Dance Pioneer Martha Grahamnew

Three strong women founded the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, so it's fitting that a strong woman would have helped christen it when it opened in 1936. Although the galleries held artwork done largely by men, the performance art stage gave way to whom many consider to be the modern dancer of the 20th century and one of the foremost choreographers in history: Martha Graham.
