The art of being a woman
The application for our open exhibition The Art of Being a Women is now open!
Miss Clara by Nobis are now seeking artists for the fifth edition of The Art of Being a Woman. In conjunction with International Women's Day on March 8, Miss Clara invites female artists from across the country to participate in an open exhibition. Anyone who identifies as a woman can apply to exhibit, regardless of age, amateur or professional status.
The exhibition will be held at Miss Clara by Nobis, starting from March 8, and will run for a month. All works will be available for purchase. During the month of March, Miss Clara will also be donating 20% of the revenue from the accommodation package "Kvinna till Kvinna," as well as a portion of the proceeds from selected dishes at Restaurant Ateneum, to the charity organization Kvinna till Kvinna. The organization works towards a world free from men's violence against women, and with 100 partner organizations on-site in 20 countries, Kvinna till Kvinna is one of the world's leading women's rights organizations.
The building that currently houses Miss Clara by Nobis was originally built as the Ateneum girls' school in 1910. We have taken our name from the school's beloved, progressive, and radical headmistress, Clara Strömberg. With the exhibition The Art of Being a Woman, we aim to create an open space featuring works by women, allowing each to tell her story through art.
