Our exhibition programing bolsters the careers of thought-shifting contemporary women artists whose work expresses the consciousness of a moment and offers unique, and often challenging, viewpoints of today.
Independent Publisher
Our publishing imprint champions high-quality literary fiction and poetry from an unmistakably female perspective. We publish emerging original voices of all backgrounds, with an eye for the experimental and unconventional.
Advocacy and Mentorship
