Women of Culture NYC

 
 
 

Did you know that you can enjoy art – and sound smart about it – without ever having taken an art class or studied art history? Art is truly meant to be enjoyed by all, and this workshop will help even the most left brain oriented attendees fall in love with the arts.

*Register here*

We are partnering with Six Degrees Society, a community designed to take the guesswork out of networking, to bring you this online networking event to help you learn how to sound smart about art, even if you have no art background or experience.

Attendees will get a quick, 10-minute art history primer along with an intro to the Contemporary art market. Learn the difference between art galleries and museums, the major players, and what the hell is an art fair!

Then, learn how best to appreciate art and my five keys for maximizing any art-based experience, whether it be a museum, gallery or live performance. You will also discover your personal art persona in order to better understand what sort of art you like (and dislike).

This is a true primer designed for those who may have never even set foot in a museum or performance space to be able to discover the power of the arts in a welcoming and non-threatening environment.

Curated Matches: Before the programming aspect of the event, each guest will engage in two curated 15-minute connections, handpicked just for them, based on bios submitted pre-event via this form, or email [masked] with a copy.

Join us as we close out Women’s History Month with the Expand Your Voice workshop - a special women's confidence and vocal presence workshop in honor of the Lateral Expansion exhibit at the FORMah gallery.

*Purchase tickets here*

During this fun and interactive workshop, vocal coach Elissa Maas Weinzimmer, Founder of Voice, Body Connection, will guide you through a process of using artistic inspiration to help your voice become stronger, healthier, and more expressive.

Whether you need to use your voice to advocate for yourself in work meetings, speak up at home, or share your creativity — or simply want to feel more comfortable being you — you'll leave this workshop with tools to express yourself more easily.

This will be a great opportunity to practice raising our voices, speaking our truth, and owning our power, all while surrounded by the beautiful artwork of Susan Arena, Jeane Cohen, MaryKate Maher, Natalia Nakazawa and Sarah G. Sharp. Plus time for bonding with fellow art-full women over wine & cheese.

Full event schedule:
6:30pm | arrival, mingling, exhibition viewing
7-8pm | confidence & vocal presence workshop

Join us on Wednesday April 5th for a private gallery night and curator-led walk-through featuring the City of Women exhibit at NYC Culture Club in the World Trade Center Oculus.

*Purchase tickets here*

This beautiful show features the work of seven local female-identifying artists, who collectively embody the diverse spirit of the cultural hub and melting pot that is New York.

Through their work they explore their identities as members of diverse communities, and their pieces touch on a wide range of themes related to their experiences as women.

From reflecting on their cultural heritage and nostalgia for home, to overcoming mental health challenges or finding community in the aftermath of shared trauma such as violence against women, all works in the show are a reminder of the resilience, strength and creativity of women.

We’ll have a private after-hours walk-through of the exhibit and a talk-back with one of the artists. Then we’ll migrate upstairs to the wine bar at Eataly Downtown for further discussion, mingling, wine and light bites around 8pm, if desired.

Featured artists: Giulia Peyrone, Buket Savci, Azzah Sultan, Alayna Coverly, Kamoy Smalling, Paola Martinez Fiterre, and Mokshini

Time: 7-8:30pm

Location: NYC Culture Club
World Trade Center Oculus, C1 Level, South Concourse
185 Greenwich Street

Tickets:
FREE for all Art-full and LTH salon members;
$10 for non-members

Simply put, the Sisterhood of Discovery online series is a place for women to come together, be fully present with one another and work together to create a life they love!

Held online via zoom every other Monday evening starting January 23rd from 7-8:30pm ET, it is designed to help you bring more mindful intentionality into your life, learning from and being supported by a circle of kindred spirits with whom you can grow.

Each session runs for 90 minutes and will start with an opening ritual/invocation, followed by facilitated discussion and exercises related to the week’s theme. You can sign up for as many as few as you like, but you will receive 20% off if you sign up for all eight at once. All sessions are FREE for Premier members .

This is NOT a course or lecture series but a participatory experience where attendees are encouraged to share and contribute, as much as they feel comfortable.

Sign up for 1 or all 8 sessions here!

What to Expect
Each week will include some visualizations, journaling, sharing and discussionaround the week’s topic as well as some optional movement (think fun dance breaks meant to move energy through you and release any tension).

No artistic talent or experience necessary. The ‘creativity’ here is more about approaching your life from a creative stand-point and using the support of a community to CREATE the life you most deeply desire.
The sessions are NOT for you if you are scared of new people or experiences and don’t like getting our of your comfort zone, or talking & sharing in a small group setting.

Also, you will only get out of the calls as much as you put in, and all participants are asked to make every effort to fully show up for themselves, and for one another, for each session they book.
The circle is held ONLINE via zoom and is also about going deep with a group of kindred spirits in order to awaken inspiration from within, rather than seeking it externally.

We learn from the writings and teachings of Julia Cameron ("The Artist's Way"), Elizabeth Gilbert ("Big Magic"), Glennon Doyle ("Untamed"), Eckhart Tolle ("The Power of Now"), and Brene Brown ("Daring Greatly") — among others.

If you are looking simply to meet new friends or expand your network, the Art-full membership may be more in-line with your desires. (In-person Art-full events are separate and not included in the Sisterhood.)

It’s hard to put into words the magic that happens when women come together in full & authentic support of one another, but I hope you will join us to experience it for yourself!
