“This project is a celebration of women’s unmistakably
essential contribution to the
community. It is also a celebration of another essential component of society – the arts. This project is a tour
de force of female creativity and an example of the
positivity that can arise from
the ‘women supporting women’
theme which dominated this
Women’s Month, and which is
a message we would like to continue sending into springtime
and the remainder of 2020.”
