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- Even Better Than the Real Thing: Private tour of the Whitney Biennial + RooftopWhitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY
Join us on Saturday July 27th when we’ll be guided through this year’s Whitney Biennial by crowd favorite, Helen Lee, plus a Art-full member’s only rooftop brunch at the stunning RH Rooftop restaurant!
Advanced ticket purchase required here
The eighty-first edition of the Whitney Biennial—the longest-running survey of contemporary art in the United States—features seventy-one artists and collectives grappling with many of today’s most pressing issues. This Biennial is like being inside a “dissonant chorus," as participating artist Ligia Lewis described it, a provocative yet intimate experience of distinct and disparate voices that collectively probe the cracks and fissures of the unfolding moment.
The exhibition’s subtitle, Even Better Than the Real Thing, acknowledges that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is complicating our understanding of what is real, and rhetoric around gender and authenticity is being used politically and legally to perpetuate transphobia and restrict bodily autonomy. These developments are part of a long history of deeming people of marginalized race, gender, and ability as subhuman—less than real. In making this exhibition, we committed to amplifying the voices of artists who are confronting these legacies, and to providing a space where difficult ideas can be engaged and considered.
This Biennial is a gathering of artists who explore the permeability of the relationships between mind and body, the fluidity of identity, and the growing precariousness of the natural and constructed worlds around us. Whether through subversive humor, expressive abstraction, or non-Western forms of cosmological thinking, to name but a few of their methods, these artists demonstrate that there are pathways to be found, strategies of coping and healing to be discovered, and ways to come together even in a fractured time.
We will meet first for an Art-full member’s brunch overlooking the city from atop the RH rooftop before our private, guided tour of the exhibit - followed by the chance to check out the new Dyani White Hawk installation over a drink or dessert at the 8th floor studio bar (not included in ticket price).
All tickets include entry to the Whitney as well as the 1.5 hour private guided tour.
Full experience tickets (member’s only) include 1 brunch entree, 1 non-alcoholic beverage + tax/tip at brunch. All additional food/drink should be paid separately on-site.

- An Art-full Afternoon in LIC with Pacita Abad at MOMA PS1 + brunchPS1, Long Island City, NY
Join us on Saturday August 3rd for a curator-led private tour of the Pacita Abad exhibit at MOMA PS1, plus a colorful LIC brunch at Jungly beforehand.
Advance ticket purchase required here
Spanning the artist’s 32-year career, this first retrospective of the Filipino artist includes more than 50 works—most of which have never been on public view in the United States prior to this exhibition.
Largely self-taught, Abad is best known for her trapuntos, quilted paintings made by stitching and stuffing her canvases as opposed to stretching them over a wood frame. After moving to the United States in 1970 to escape political persecution from the authoritarian Marcos regime, Abad sought to give visibility to political refugees and oppressed peoples through her work.
“I have always believed that an artist has a special obligation to remind society of its social responsibility,” she said. The presentation celebrates the multifaceted work of an artist whose vibrant visual, material, and conceptual concerns push forward salient conversations around globalization, power, and resilience.
Before the 2pm tour, we’ll enjoy brunch at Jungly, followed by the opportunity to continue exploring the other exhibits at the museum.
All tickets include the private, curator-led tour. Full experience tickets also include 1 brunch entree + 1 non-alcoholic beverage + tax/tip at brunch. All other food/drink will need to be purchased separately on-site.
