About the event:

For the third year, AIGA Cincinnati + WomanUp will honor Women’s History Month by presenting Words of Wisdom, a community gallery show. This event is generously sponsored and hosted by Landor

Words of Wisdom is a celebration of inspiring words of women in the world, showcased through unique works of art made by local creatives. This gallery show will be on Friday, March 30, 2018. Any proceeds from the show will benefit Women Helping Women, an organization dedicated to preventing gender-based violence and empowering all survivors. 

This is a great opportunity to celebrate Women’s History Month, flex your creative muscles, raise money for a good cause, and take home affordable one-of-a-kind pieces of art! There are two ways to participate: submit your original artwork and/or attend the gallery show.

  • Doors open at 5:30 pm, view pieces and enjoy refreshments provided by Landor.

  • Art sales benefitting Women Helping Women will start promptly at 7:00 pm
