This exhibition is not simply for women.

We are celebrating some of the city’s wonderful female artists – and we need your help to do that. Hull’s women form a strong part of the city’s lifeblood, and its artists are no exception.

International Women's Day

Throughout March 2017 we are holding, not just an exhibition, but a series of free events as part of Hull 2017 and WOW Festival which everyone is invited to. So grab your partner, your mate, your wife, your son or your gran and come to see some art. We won’t bite. Promise.
