GALLERY MISSION STATEMENT
Ahmad strives to empower women in every avenue of life. With an understanding that focused action has a stronger impact on change, she has chosen to tackle the substantial disproportionate Gallery representation of male artists compared to female artists. Her gallery is now proudly representing and supporting local female talent in ATX and beyond.

A Gallery of All ATX Female Artists
Julie Ahmad, Principal Artist + Gallerist, decided in 2023 to take on the uncommonly known gender disparity in the fine art world that negatively impacts female artists, in terms of representation, by turning her single artist gallery into a traditional gallery. We now proudly house 13 Female Artists! Help us in our mission to Amplify Women in the Arts by shopping from their available artworks, which supports them in continuing to do what they love.

"Julie’s art is so loved in our home! It is always the topic of conversation when we have guests over. We can’t wait to keep adding to our collection!"
Nimai Larson
"We are so lucky to have Julie Ahmad in Austin. Her curation of female identifying artists is second to none and her passion to raise awareness of women in the art world is palpable upon entering the Gallery. A colorful mix of abstract painting, photography, geometric patterns and everything in between, one will feel immersed in awe and inspiration. Julie, being an artist herself, is an expert in her field and has guided her clients towards the right pieces for them with a gentle and personal touch. This gallery also hosts happy hours and other events. I recommend this gallery for anyone visiting Austin, those specifically wanting to support women in the arts, or if you are simply a person with great taste in art :)"
Stephanie Boone
"I’ve enjoyed Julie’s gallery and gatherings for years! The space and vibe are so inclusive, fun, and engaging! I’ve purchased several pieces of incredible, one of a kind, art and constantly get compliments on them. The female power here is fierce and I love it! I adore Julie and her team, artists, collaborations, and community are next level goodness!"
Katy Lindell
"We buy original, and often local, art because we love being surrounded by unique pieces! We feel like original art allows us to make our home truly ours. Supporting someone like Julie also feels personal. We love how she is championing not only her work but the work of other female artists in Austin."
Linsi Brownson
"This is my favorite art gallery in Austin! Julie and her talented team host great events that make art accessible to collectors of all levels. I was thrilled to meet one of the artists of a piece I purchased at an event, and we even had a dance party to celebrate! Julie continuously finds FUN ways to showcase the female artists they represent. I love that she is so collaborative and dedicated to our community."
Emily Papermaster
"I LOVED working with Julie. We had a vision of what we wanted (a three panel piece that reflected the personality of me and my two girls) and she executed the vision perfectly. She’s professional, easy to work with, and insanely talented. Can’t say enough wonderful things about Julie!"
Sarah Bandy
"I absolutely love this place! They exclusively carry pieces by female artists and have an incredible selection of original modern art. Whether you’re looking to own a small piece of local art or need large pieces to decorate your luxury home, there is something for everyone. Artist and owner, Julie Ahmad is a gem and will make you feel right at home."
