The International Women's Art Programme's aims are to create a safe space for women to come together through art making to engage in positive social cohesion as multi-cultural women around the world. The projects are inclusive there are no boundries in the types of women that we work with including many agencies that support women's groups and networks.

International Women's Day Exeter

We are now finialising our plans for the International Womens Day Events - We will be in the Exeter Phoenix Black Box from 11am onwards on Tuesday March 8th.

Some of the art-work you may like to get involved with will be A Homage to Fran Jenkin, who worked with us on IWD for 5 years. Come along and and make some 'Peace knots for Fran'
 Catherine Cartwirght will be providing a chance to print post cards to send to parliment to support Women with no recourse to public funding. We would love it if you could be a part of our day. We will let you know what else is planned next week- Peace and Love IWAs




 The Tree of Life from the United Love Project ,  was created with finger knitted knots. With each stitch we sent out love to the women of the world.
 Fran Jenkin was part of this work, which addressed 'Intergration in to the Art Gallery' by women from many cultures in the the Exeter Phoenix Galleries for the start of our work together on the International Womens Day events in Exeter.
