See all- GODDESS at the public – A Night of Dinner, Music & MythPublic Theater, New York, NY
Join us on Saturday, May 31st for an unforgettable evening of soulful connection, cultural storytelling, and powerful performance.
Step into an evening of rhythm, romance, and mythology with GODDESS, a bold new musical making its highly anticipated New York premiere at The Public Theater. The night begins with a warm, elegant gathering over dinner at Vic’s, followed by an unforgettable performance that fuses Afro-jazz, myth, and the supernatural.
Set in a steamy club in Mombasa, Kenya, GODDESS tells the story of a mysterious singer whose voice stirs the soul and changes lives—especially that of a young man caught between duty and desire.
Inspired by the myth of Marimba, the goddess who turned heartbreak into beautiful song, this musical invites us to question who we are meant to be.
Before the show, Art-full members are invited to gather for a delicious dinner and deep conversation at Vic’s.

- Summer of Sisterhood Annual Intro/ Reunion PicnicCentral Park, New York, NY
Calling all soulful sisters - past, present and future!
Join us on Sunday, June 1st at 3 PM for an intimate afternoon picnic designed to nourish your spirit and spark meaningful connections.Free to attend but advance registration required here
We’ll gather on the southeast side of Sheep’s Meadow in Central Park (near the Roc D’Ecre sculpture – see map here) for a heartfelt check-in on the year so far, and to share space with women who are walking their own beautiful paths of growth and discovery.
This is a relaxed, joy-filled gathering for both previous members of the Sisterhood of Discovery women 's circle, as well as those who are interested in deeper conversations and connections. It will be a chance to reunite, (re)connect, and reflect with intention. As we reach the halfway point of 2025, we’ll take stock of where we are and where we want to go, with guided conversation and thoughtful small group sharing.
Expect fresh air, warm company, a few soulful conversation prompts, and light snacks (think bread, fruit, cheese & other finger foods). You’re welcome to bring a blanket, your favorite drink, and a snack to share if you’d like — or simply show up as you are.
Though this picnic is FREE, advance RSVP is required so we can share weather updates or changes in plan (in case of rain, we’ll meet on Zoom).
Whether you’ve been part of the Sisterhood of Discovery in the past, or are just looking to make deeper female friendships — this is your invitation to drop in, slow down, and remember the magic that happens when women gather with purpose and intention. You are sure to walk away with new insights on yourself as well as the other women in attendance.We can’t wait to soak up the fresh air and celebratory summer vibes with you!

- Dance It Out: Intuitive Movement Workshop for Pride & Joy!Gibney Dance Agnes Varis Performing Arts Center , New York, NY
In celebration of Pride month and all that makes you unique, it's time to let the rhythm move you in this upbeat and energizing movement workshop designed to help you fall in love with all that makes you, YOU! 💃
Advance purchase required here
Led by Women of Culture Founder Alexandra Harper, this 60-minute intuitive movement session is all about reconnecting with your body, releasing tension, and reawakening your inner joy through free-form dance. You’ll be guided to move with intention—not perfection—as you let the rhythm lead the way and align with the blooming energy of spring.
No dance experience is needed—just a willingness to move, play, and connect. The evening begins with grounding and stretching before flowing into guided movement, improvisation, and reflection.
🧘🏽♂️ The evening will start with some grounding exercises to get out of your head and into your body. You will be led through some basic warm-ups and stretches, as well as a few very basic steps that can be adapted to your body and style as the evening progresses.
💃🏻 You won’t have to learn any specific choreography but instead, you will be invited to dance freely to a curated playlist with verbal cues for healing and release
💗 Please wear comfortable clothing, including sneakers (layers recommended). There are bathrooms and showers if desired (you will likely work up some sweat :)
✍️There will also be time for (optional) sharing and reflection in order to better integrate the experience and connect with the others in attendance.
Here's what a previous attendee had to say:
“The last Intuitive Movement workshop I attended with Alex was so much fun - I have been asking her to host another one ever since! As someone who danced professionally for years, the workshop created a space for me to reconnect with dance and movement with much more freedom and joy.It helped me remember how good it can feel to be fully in my body, without the worry of performing or looking a certain way, and it inspired me to restart my long-dormant personal movement practice, which is a necessary part of my self-care. I am so grateful for Alex for creating this space for us to move together, as a community, and I can’t wait for the next workshop!”

- American Sublime: Private Tour of Amy Sherald at the Whitney + Member's BrunchWhitney Museum, New York City, NY
Join us on Saturday, June 7th for a vibrant afternoon of art, culture, and connection as we explore the striking work of acclaimed American portraitist Amy Sherald.
Advance Purchase Required here
Art-full members are invited to start the day with a stylish brunch at the new Frenchette Bakery Cafe, where you’ll mingle with fellow art enthusiasts in a lively and welcoming setting.
Then, all are invited to step into the world of Amy Sherald: American Sublime at the Whitney Museum of American Art, a powerful exhibition that redefines American portraiture.
Sherald, best known for her official portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama, elevates the everyday through masterfully composed and richly symbolic paintings. Her subjects—Black Americans rendered in grayscale against vivid backdrops—exude quiet strength, individuality, and grace.
This intimate, guided tour offers an in-depth look at Sherald’s visual language, her influences from American Realism, and her mission to expand the representation of Black lives in the visual arts. From her deeply moving portrait of Breonna Taylor to her portraits of ordinary citizens depicted with reverence and imagination, Sherald's work invites reflection on identity, beauty, and cultural memory.
Whether you are a seasoned art patron or are discovering Sherald’s work for the first time, this experience will leave you feeling more connected to the arts, yourself and the Women of Culture community.
Inclusions: All tickets include entrance to the museum as well as the private, guided tour. Full experience tickets (for Art-full members only) also include 1 entree + 1 non-alcoholic beverage + tax/tip at brunch. Any additional food or drink needs to be paid by venmo or zelle directly to the event host.
