Taking part
Artists should approach WMG with work that aligns with its mission of promoting women and non-binary artists. Proposals should demonstrate a clear connection to feminist or social justice themes, though not exclusively. The gallery values thoughtful, well-conceived submissions that reflect an understanding of its history and commitment to inclusivity. It is advisable to review past exhibitions and calls for entry to gauge the curatorial direction. WMG encourages emerging and underrepresented artists to apply, and provides a supportive platform for those addressing challenging topics. Ensure that submissions are professionally presented and adhere to specified guidelines, as the gallery maintains high standards while fostering a nurturing environment.
