Festival Herstory
The first Audacious Women Festival was held in February 2016. It was intended as a one-off event, but has taken place annually since then!
In 2020 we started including online events to support our community through the Covid 19 pandemic.
In 2021 we held the first online Festival and developed a virtual Festival site where participants can attend events, visit the art gallery and drop into the cafe for a chat. Feel free to drop in to look around.
Since then we have continued to hold exhibitions and occasional online events throughout the year.
