What we’re about
**Women of Culture **is a NYC-based community designed to connect and inspire women via meaningful engagement with the arts and creative self-expression. Through carefully curated cultural experiences, trips and workshops, we encourage women to push their boundaries, discover new perspectives and connect more deeply with themselves and those around them.
We believe that, when women come together and collectively tap into their innate creativity, confidence, and one-ness, they have the power to heal the world — from the inside, out.
Be sure to **sign up here **to find out more and be the first to learn about future programming.

See all- Armory Arts Week Private Collection Visit + Art-full Member DinnerMichael Hort collection, NY, NY
Join us on Wednesday, September 4th to kick off NYC's biggest art week with a visit to the stunning private collection of Susan & Michael Hort — followed by a delicious Art-full member dinner at the Odeon.
Advance ticket purchase required here
With a focus on collecting in depth and supporting young artists, Sudan & Michael Hort posess what is said to be “one of the most important private collections amassed in the last 50 years.” Housed in a beautiful Tribeca townhouse, their collection is only open to the public a couple of times a year, in order to benefit the Rema Hort Mann Foundation which supports both cancer patients and emerging artists.
After experiencing the all new installation, Art-full members are appropriately invited to dinner at one of NYC’s most classic and storied French restaurants. Frequented by artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol, the Odeon is also the birthplace of the Cosmopolitan and has has been called “ageless and definitively downtown” - and therefore a great place to kick off a weekend of art fairs!
While the collection visit is free of charge, there is a suggested donation of $20 to benefit the Rema Hort Mann Foundation, a nonprofit organization established to honor the legacy of the Hort’s daughter who died of cancer at age 25.
Full experience tickets (Art-full members only) include 1 alcoholic beverage OR 1 appetizer at dinner. All additional food or drink will need to be ordered and paid separately on-site.

- Third Annual Armory Show Private Tour + Rooftop Brunch (art-full members)429 11th Ave, New York, NY
On Saturday September 9th, Art-full members are invited to join us for a private, guided tour of the biggest and best of the NYC art fairs!
The Armory Show is NYC's answer to Art Basel and is a chance to experience the best & brightest of the international Contemporary art world, which comes together under one roof for just one weekend each year.
It is always the most awe-inspiring and talked-about art fairs of the year — but it can also feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate on one’s own. Luckily, we’ll have the experts from ArtNexus show us this year’s not-to-be-missed highlights, followed by time for further, self-guided exploration.
Before the 1:30pm tour, we will get to know one another better over a rooftop brunch at beautiful Electric Lemon at 11:15am.
This event is for you if you’re interested in learning more about the Contemporary art market and getting a snapshot of what’s hot in the art world right now - while also enjoying culinary delights and new connections over brunch beforehand. It is only open to 10 Art-full members and will surely sell out so get your ticket now!
