Progressive groups accelerate action for women creatives through participation and visibility

Well done to Lichfield Arts, a registered charity in Staffordshire, England, that actively supports and elevates women creatives.

"Get ready for International Women's Day 2025 as we #AccelerateAction for gender equality," encouraged impressive group, Lichfield Arts, as they called for women artists, creators and performers to be part of their special International Women's Day event coming up to mark IWD 2025.

The group looks for incredible women in the Arts — visual artists, musicians, dancers, poets and performers — to showcase their work as part of Lichfield Arts' empowering celebration supporting IWD.

"This is your chance to have your voice heard, your story told and your talent uplifted in a dynamic, inclusive and meaningful showcase with Lichfield Arts," explained the group. "Creativity in all its forms is welcome — music, visual art, photography, mixed media, dance, written and spoken word, textiles, performance art and more. Interpret the IWD 2025 Accelerate Action theme boldly and creatively in your work."

Amplifying visibility of women in the creative sector

Explaining why their IWD event matters so much, Lichfield Arts said: "Art drives change. By amplifying the voices of women in the creative sector, a more diverse, rich and inclusive cultural landscape can be fostered. Make International Women’s Day 2025 a vibrant celebration of women’s creativity, resilience and power."

"By hosting this event, we aim to recognise the creativity, resilience, and power of women in the arts and provide a platform where their stories, perspectives, and talents can shine," they announced.

And, in response to their call for participation, the group announced: "We’re overwhelmed by the incredible response to our call for women in The Arts for our special International Women's Day event with Lichfield Arts. To every talented visual artist, musician, dancer, poet, and performer who applied—thank you for sharing your creativity, passion, and stories with us. Your talent inspires us, and we can’t wait to bring this empowering celebration to life!"

Well done Lichfield Arts for your tenacious efforts and fabulous focus in supporting and featuring women creatives.
