Celebrating Women's History Month

As we conclude March 2023, International Women's History Month, we want to take a moment to reflect on the inspiring women who have made significant contributions in the cultural world. Throughout the month, we have dedicated a different week to honor four women who inspire us as Leaders, Trailblazers, DEAI Advocates, and Youth.

We are thrilled to present the final poster that captures the essence of our month-long celebration. We express our gratitude to all those who have participated in honoring these remarkable women and acknowledge their exceptional work in the cultural sector.

We invite you to download the poster and join us in continuing to celebrate and honor women who inspire us with their remarkable achievements.
