The Show

Artists are invited to submit work celebrating femininity. This can cover diverse topics such as beauty, history and women in society, from both a male and female perspective. We welcome entries of both 2 and 3D work.

Due to the nature of the venue, we also welcome entries for performance art, and encourage artists to consider any events they might like to hold to coincide with any work selected. 

The private view will take place on International Women’s Day.
