THE ART OF BEING A WOMAN
259 applications were received for the fourth edition of Miss Clara´s open art exhibition “The Art of Being a Woman”. The artworks are chosen by a jury of four women: Ditte Lauridsen (Head of Art at Nordiska Galleriet), Charlotte Manning (poet and public speaker), Caroline Dalenson Anchér (founder and Director of gallery Carling Dalenson), and Magda Lundberg (artist and cartoonist).
To celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8, Miss Clara by Nobis invites you to the exhibition "Women in art" (from 6.30 pm onwards) featuring the 22 selected works by female artists. The exhibition will be on display at Miss Clara by Nobis for a month and all artworks will be for sale.
On the opening day, Miss Clara by Nobis will donate 50% of all profits from the restaurant and bar sales to Kvinna till Kvinna, an organization working with women's human rights in several countries.
