ABOUT CelebrateWomxn845:

Statistics show that womxn (women/women-identifying) artists are underrepresented in galleries and venues throughout the U.S. and the world. Based out of the Hudson Valley area of New York, CelebrateWomxn845 was created to provide the opportunity and the space for both visual and performing womxn artists across disciplines to share their work, meet other womxn, and engage with and identify themselves within their community.

Our goals are to organize, recognize, and celebrate womxn creatives from the 845 and beyond by hosting gallery shows, public events, and information sessions throughout the Hudson Valley region.
