Lady NoKids Art-full Playdate: Women, Art & Wine at Onna House
Location not specified yetLady NoKids and Women of Culture invite you into a gallery dedicated to women artists — with wine, cheese, and a dinner table waiting.
Some Friday nights are just Friday nights. This one is not.
Advance Purchase Required here (unless you have already signed up for the Art-full Insider Access Pass, which includes this event)
On Friday, May 15th, Lady NoKids and Women of Culture are joining forces for an evening that puts women's art, women's community, and women's choices front and center — in one of downtown Manhattan's most extraordinary gallery spaces.
The night begins at Onna House — a gallery with a singular and unapologetic mission: to create visibility, space, and celebration for women artists and designers exclusively.
Founded by Lisa Perry, Onna House is not your typical gallery. It's intimate and layered, designed to feel like a home — one where every object, every wall, every room tells the story of a woman's creative vision. You'll move through ceramic sculpture, handwoven textiles, jewelry, and found-material works by artists who are doing something genuinely worth stopping for. Come ready to look slowly and talk freely. Wine and cheese are on us.
At 6:30 PM, we move to dinner nearby. The first round is on us and the conversation will pick up exactly where the gallery left off. Exact gallery location will be sent the day before to confirmed attendees only.
Lady NoKids is a community and platform celebrating women living full, intentional lives without children — by choice, chance or circumstance. We exist to raise the financial literacy of women living this life so we can design the extraordinary lives we want.
Women of Culture brings women together through the transformative power of art. Founded by Alex Harper, Women of Culture creates art-based experiences across NYC for intellectually curious women who believe that creativity is not a luxury — it's a lifeline.
Two communities. One shared conviction: that a woman's inner life is worth investing in, celebrating, and showing up for on a Friday night.
Space at the gallery is limited. The dinner table has a cap. Don't sit this one out.
Advance Purchase Required here (unless you have already signed up for the Art-full Insider Access Pass, which includes this event)
