By better representing and appreciating female artists, the range and enrichment of art are expanded.”
“We proudly present this event as a reflection of equality, inclusion, and opportunity promotion in the art world. At the same time, we provide women with an informal meeting place where they can share their love for art and work on a powerful professional network. With this event, we’re hitting two birds with one stone,” says Dieuwke van Buren, General Manager of Equals.
