What Artists Say

Hear from the talented artists who have been part of the Women in Art Prize community

"As the Woman in Art Prize exhibition comes to a close, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to both of WIAP. It has been an unforgettable experience to take part, and I truly appreciate all the effort and care you put into organizing this meaningful event. WIAP have provided artists with a professional yet welcoming platform to share their work. During the exhibition, I not only had the chance to connect with visitors but also gained great inspiration from fellow artists. These experiences have given me fresh perspectives and renewed motivation in my practice."
