It's not only limited to paintings and sculptures, but the annual Women in Art exhibition is a display of multiple forms of art, This year there is some fashion and even more poetry on display. The curator for the event is a visual artist herself, and she gave us more details about the flow of their set up for this year.
Gayla, Curator, Women in Art Exhibition
"So there wasn't particularly a criteria because we wanted women to show their pieces and their talent and their art. They are creators right? So in terms of the theme It is about empowerment, our rights for women and children, women and girls. And if you notice, if you take a look around the exhibit is specifically on a journey, the journey that women go through so it has themes such as breaking the silence, social change and activism, future and innovation because a lot of women are not only painting but they are literally turning that talent into more. You have that tonight, I don't want to give away a lot but yes you also have cultural heritage, our strength and our resilience. It's a journey so tonight the art exhibition is all about women's journey."
"So March is women's month. It's a special time for women to be seen and heard. That's where I think the impact is to answer your question what I'd like to see and this is only my opinion is for it to go forward not only in terms of an exhibition but actually get to highlight these women more, their crafts, like I said in the beginning they are creators and some women are single mothers and this is their way of making an income so I would like to see it be carried forward."
"So the total artists participating is 35, the total pieces I'm sorry I can't give you the total pieces because I haven't counted them but they were all allowed to give five pieces per artist."
The event began at 7:00pm and is open to the public
