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.

See all- Van Gogh's Flowers Art-full Discovery Hunt + Brunch Among the BloomsNew York Botanical Garden, Enid Haupt Conservatory, New York, NY
Join us on Saturday, June 28th, 2025 for a day of beauty, inspiration, and unforgettable moments as Van Gogh’s Flowers takes over the New York Botanical Garden. This immersive experience invites you to step into the vivid world of one of the world’s most beloved artists—not in a museum, but in full bloom.
Advance Purchase Required here
We'll embark on an Art-full Discovery hunt through living recreations of Van Gogh’s iconic floral paintings, thoughtfully designed using real flowers to echo the emotion and texture of his brushstrokes. From the sweeping sunflower fields to delicate displays of irises and almond blossoms, each corner of the garden draws you into a scene straight from his imagination.
What makes this experience so unique—and so worth it—is how it blends art, nature, and storytelling in a way that’s both grounding and uplifting. Whether you're an art lover, a garden enthusiast, or just someone seeking beauty and peace in a chaotic world, this exhibition offers a rare moment of stillness and awe.
Our Art-full Discovery Hunts help give attendees some structure and guidance in order to have a more interactive experience with the exhibit, ensuring they leave feeling inspired and more connected to one another as well. Participants will be paired up for a no-pressure scavendar hunt based on some art-fully inspired clues.
After the 'hunt,' we'll gather for a relaxing lunch at the Hudson Garden Grill during which we'll share our discoveries, with the option to continue exploring the expansive gardens afterwards.
All tickets include entry to the garden and exhibit. Full experience tickets also include 1 lunch entree + 1 non-alcoholic beverage + tax/tip. All additional food or beverage will need to be paid separately.
