OUR  INSPIRATION

WOMEN

Women artists make up 52% of all professional artists world wide. However, only 5% of art held in permanent collections is by women artists. This disparity in the representation of women in the establishment fine art world, not only has an economic impact on women, but also has a cultural impact. Art is a form of communication. Without a more balance representation of women in the art world, that voice is lost and the culture is skewed to represent an almost entirely masculine voice.

Art is a powerful form of creation and healing. This inspires us to help heal the social and economic divide that women face in the art world and culture in general.

CHRONIC CONDITIONS

Many people faced with chronic conditions are not able to physically handle what is required in a traditional work week with a work commute. Artists that face navigating through a chronic condition, whether temporary or permanent, sometimes need a little extra assistance in their business of creating. We think it is important for these voices to be heard in the community as they bring a unique perspective of creating and triumphing over obstacles that others may not be able to imagine, thus bringing more compassion and understanding into our culture.

CULTURAL

We seek to diversify the cultural represented in art history by promoting artists with cultural backgrounds that are underrepresented in the art world.
