International Women’s Day Exhibition, Marlborough House, 28-32 Victoria Street – until March 13
For this year’s International Women’s Day Vault Artist Studios are launching an exhibition exploring the theme of ‘Mother’. Showing the work of 70 artists from many different mediums including painting, photography, sketching, sculpting, digital and many more.
All the works are designed to celebrate, commemorate, and cherish mothers. For example artist Clare Hanna’s submission ‘GET YOUR PINK BACK’ was inspired by the fact Flamingos lose their pink colouring when raising their young with the colour only returning when the young become independent. The piece serves as a reminder to look after and take time for yourself as well as others.
