​This immersive experience offers a perfect balance of reflection and festivity — beginning with a cozy brunch at Confidant in Industry City, a welcoming spot offering hearty dishes and great conversation before we set out for Green-Wood, continuing with a fascinating guided tour, and concluding with a vibrant cultural celebration.

​Founded in 1838, Green-Wood Cemetery is one of New York City’s most historic landmarks, known for its breath-taking landscapes, Gothic Revival architecture, and as the resting place of some of the city’s most notable figures. Spanning 478 acres, it serves as both a peaceful sanctuary and an open-air museum of art, history, and nature.

​During our private guided 90-minute walking tour, we will explore the rich history of the Cemetery, delve into the tapestry of New York's past, and discover the monuments and buildings of profound significance.

​Finally, you are invited to close out the afternoon by discovering the rich history and traditions associated with the holiday Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) through the garden's Day of the Dead family celebration, which is free and open to the public.

​We hope you will join us for this unique and inspiring celebration!

​Inspired by our Sisterhood of Discovery series, these casual and intimate bi-weekly calls are designed as a way for Art-full members (and first-time non-member visitors) to start the week with intention and connection.

Please register here to join

​Each session includes: the chance for all attendees to check in with their sisters on anything that has come up since the last week and the opportunity to discuss a pre-selected prompt - which always leads to deeper conversations and connections.

​Each call is an invitation to deepen your connection with yourself and fellow members by showing up for one another consistently. Participants are encouraged to submit ideas for discussion prompts and many of the prompts will be determined by issues raised in the previous week's call which are relevant to all attendees.

​Conversation will be lightly guided in order to ensure all in attendance feel seen, heard and validated in the service of building one another up through authentic support.

​You are invited to show up as your full self, as you are - learning, growing and discovering more about yourself and one another along the way.

​Please be sure to call from a quiet location where you feel comfortable participating as though we were meeting in person.

Please note: ​All sessions are free for Art-full members, and non-members are invited to attend one trial session before joining one of our three membership tiers.

On Wednesday, November 5th, the exhibition A Return to Beauty: The Pattern and Decoration Movement, 1975–1985 will be the centrepiece of our private gallery night at D. Wigmore Fine Art.

Advance Purchase Required Here

Featuring 23 works by 9 artists, the show highlights how pioneers like Miriam Schapiro, Robert Kushner, and Kendall Shaw drew from global craft traditions—quilting, weaving, mosaics, and textiles—challenging the austerity of Modernism and elevating techniques long considered outside the canon of fine art.

The Pattern & Decoration artists embraced multiplicity, layering, and kaleidoscopic color, drawing inspiration from Islamic tiles, Japanese kimono patterns, American quilting, and more. Their works collapsed boundaries between painting, sculpture, and craft, ultimately redefining modern art and its sources. Today, the movement is recognized for its bold cross-cultural vision and its radical revaluation of beauty as a central force in contemporary art.

Following the gallery experience, members are invited to continue the evening just a few blocks away at PizzArte, a stylish Italian restaurant that combines authentic Neapolitan cuisine with a rotating art display of its own. Known for its thin-crust pizzas, elevated antipasti, and warm, gallery-like ambiance.

### Why Attend?

• Exclusive Access: Experience a curator-led walk-through of A Return to Beauty, gaining deeper insights into the exhibition’s themes and works.
• Intimate Community Setting: Connect with fellow members in a relaxed, small-group setting designed for meaningful conversation.
• Art Meets Dining: Extend the night with an optional dinner at PizzArte, where authentic Italian cuisine meets a creative gallery-like atmosphere.
• Value & Experience: Enjoy a thoughtfully curated evening that blends culture, conversation, and culinary delight — at a member-exclusive rate.
