EmpowerHER '26: Creativity, Courage & Magical Thinking

EmpowerHER 26 Returns for Its Third Edition at CasildART Contemporary

CasildART Contemporary proudly presents the third edition of EmpowerHER 26, a dynamic exhibition celebrating the creativity, courage, and visionary spirit of women artists.

Opening to the public 1 April and on view until 2 May 2026 with free admission, the exhibition marks Women’s History Month with a powerful showcase of contemporary art that explores the depth and diversity of women’s experiences.

Working with the recurring theme of “Creativity, Courage & Magical Thinking,” this year’s edition invites audiences to step into a vibrant world of imagination, resilience, and storytelling. Across painting, mixed media, and conceptual works, the featured artists reflect on themes ranging from identity and empowerment to memory, transformation, and possibility. Each piece offers a unique perspective, creating a rich dialogue that both challenges and inspires.

EmpowerHER continues CasildART’s commitment to championing women’s voices in the arts. At a time when women artists are still underrepresented in galleries and institutions worldwide, the exhibition provides a vital platform for both emerging and established female artists, bringing their work to the forefront of London’s contemporary art scene.

Over the following weeks, visitors are invited to visit the fair and support these women artists by purchasing their work.

EmpowerHER '26 is more than an exhibition—it is a celebration of artistic freedom, bold ideas, and the transformative power of women’s creativity.

Join us for a discussion on 9 April at 6:30pm with two of the EmpowerHER '26 ceramicists, Freya Bramble-Carter and Merissa Hylton. Book your tickets here.

On 11 April from 2:00-4:00pm, the artists participating in the show will be in the gallery for an exclusive artist meet and greet. Please book your tickets for that event here.

Tickets for both events are £10 and include a glass of Prosecco.
