HerArt
The "HerArt" workshop series is a tribute to the often-overlooked brilliance of female artists throughout history. While male artists dominate the narratives of art history and the walls of museums, the contributions of women remain underrepresented and undervalued.
This series is designed to change that narrative. By placing female artists in the spotlight, "HerArt" explores their groundbreaking work, their struggles for recognition, and their profound influence on art and culture. Through these workshops, we look into their stories, examine their art, and celebrate their relevance in shaping the creative world we know today.
But "HerArt" is more than just an art history lesson - it’s an opportunity to connect, create, and be inspired. Each workshop includes group activities tailored to the art movement, so you can engage with the techniques, themes, and styles of the featured artists and create your own masterpiece.
