Last Chance to Catch EmpowerHER

CasildART is a new not-for-profit Black-led gallery that showcases the work of contemporary Black artists. The gallery had a special pre-opening exhibition with EmpowerHER. (Main image Sukai with sculptor Sokari Douglas Camp credit: http://www.alt-africa.com and all images)

Set up in 2019 by Sukai Eccleston it was incorporated as a social enterprise in December 2021.

Their aim to address the lack of representation for Black artists by commercial galleries and museums and provide a platform for people with an African or Caribbean background to connect to their heritage and engage with the creative industries.

15th-24th March 2024

In celebration of International Women’s Day, EmpowerHER showcases the work of female artists to recognise their talent and achievements. Women from all backgrounds were invited to submit their work for the chance to have their work featured in the International Women’s Day exhibition in the beautiful new gallery located in Marble Arch, London. The gallery got over 70 entries.

The gallery doesn’t officially open until late Spring, this is your chance to get a sneak preview of the space. The exhibition is open until 7 April. And, most importantly, support women artists by collecting their work.
