For this event our focus is on women artists pushing boundaries and forging their own paths of passion
An exhibition celebrating the stories and works of inspirational multi-faceted women artists, who have successfully monetized their passions by leveraging their creative talent.
Reinvention, innovation and reincarnation are running threads that stich their fascinating artistic journeys together many of whom have stepped away from highly successful professional careers in other fields to nurture their artistic talent and have achieved great success and recognition. Their success stories inspire and encourage others to follow their passions, reinvent themselves, and forge new destinies.
If your stories reflect these sentiments we would like to invite you to exhibit with us. This opportunity is commission free and successful artists will keep full amount of takings from sales.
