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. The stats are so dismal, they don't seem real, and Ahmad is often met with a doubtful response when presenting these discouraging numbers.
Here are facts from the National Museum of Women in the Arts website: "Women obtain 70% of the Fine Art Bachelor’s Degrees at University, Yet only 13.7% of living artists represented by museums and galleries in Europe and North America are women."
We are ambitiously challenging this stat by spreading awareness and investing in women & female-identifying artists and their careers! The Gallery proudly supports local talent with representation, and sales and marketing education in ATX and beyond.
How can my business/team get involved?
In addition to our commitment to showcasing exceptional art, we are excited to offer an exclusive opportunity for businesses to sponsor an 'Evening at the Gallery' with their executive team. This unique offering provides a space that is rich in creativity and inspiration, coupled with an artist talk for an intimate experience with a professional artist from the Austin community. These evenings are designed to foster creativity and support communication in a relaxed yet stimulating environment. .
