As 2026 mission for International Women’s day (IWD) is #GiveToGain, any sales from this exhibition will have a percentage going towards Safe Haven. Safe Haven Foundation of Canada was born from one couple’s personal mission to develop a program dedicated to keeping homeless, and at-risk teenage girls safe, off the streets, and in school.

International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Significant activity is witnessed worldwide as groups come together to celebrate women's achievements or rally for women's equality.

As women in art have been overshadowed by their counter parts for so many years, the intent to highlight and applaud all our women artists from our roster by exhibiting them as a strong united group in one fabulous exhibition. Women of all genera of art will be on display and representing art from across Canada. This exhibition will celebrate the diversity and strength of art done by women in Canada.

Historically women have been overshadowed in the arts by their counter-parts for so many years. It is just until recent years that we see women starting to flourish in the artists. Great artists such as Mary Pratt, Helen Frankenthaler, Georgia O'Keefe, and Emily Carr have paved the way for today’s women in the arts. This show is to exemplify the strong and = innovative art that women artists of today are creating.

(Objective and intent of exhibition to #IWD:
Our intent will be to highlight daily each of our artists on social media highlighting the artists strength, uniqueness and importance in culture and art. We will be present to support and promote our artists and answer any questions set forward to us. We will post on our walls, social media and website an essay on the emergence of women in the arts over the ages that will illustrate the attempt over the years to grow equality and close the gap in a bias in the arts. Education is key.)
