Each of our experiences is carefully curated and thoughtfully organized with the intention of encouraging attendees to push their boundaries, discover new perspectives and more deeply understand themselves and the world around them — so they are better equipped to shape it. All experiences are gender-inclusive, excluding Art-full member only and Sisterhood of Discovery offerings.
At every Women of Culture experience, you will:
Discover new art forms, broaden your horizons and awaken your curiosity.
Experience the power of art to transform, inspire and enlighten.
Connect with a tribe of fellow art-lovers.
***
Every effort is made to keep events community-oriented so that all feel welcome, whether it is their first or 50th time attending. Most women attend events alone — and leave with a new friend, or more. All that is required is an open mind & an interest in art!
