The Arts connect us all - anywhere, anytime

The Global IWD Women's Arts Initiative was established in 2011 to celebrate the collective creative ability of women. 2011 saw 100 years since the first International Women's Day was held, so to mark the Centenary, this initiative was launched.

All the artworks (paintings, sculptures, installations, photographs, drawings, sketches, collages ...) and stories have been created by diverse women from around the world to inspire, challenge, entertain and provoke thought from a gender angle. The impressive artworks celebrate the artistic grace of women. The stories are of celebration, hurt, triumph, shock, humour, anger, remembrance and question. Enjoy !
