Invitation to Celebrate Women's History Month

Newsletter - March 2026

Women’s History Month invites us to reflect not only on individual achievements, but on the communities and collaborations that have driven cultural change. In the arts, some of the most powerful movements have emerged when women came together forming collectives, publications, and artist-run spaces that challenged exclusion and reshaped the institutions around them.

On This Spot is continuing this conversation.
