Art Connects Women has indeed added value to my artistic career in different ways. Firstly, the opportunity to meet women artists coming from all walks of life and interacting with them on a social and intellectual level. For small island states artists, opportunities as such give hope and contribute towards meaningful experiences such as gaining greater exposure and enriching knowledge of contemporary arts and art in general. It has been a great honour to participate in the International Women’s Day Art Exhibition last year and to be affiliated with ACW. When women artists come together to showcase their work, they inspire and learn from each other. This creates greater opportunity to network and so the conversation continues! The women artists who participated in the exhibition last year have great leadership qualities and are contributing to a great extent to bring about positive changes to make this world a better place.
