We are thrilled to invite you to our first ever MADE BY WOMEN Gala this October 11th celebrating the 5th year of our festival and honoring the extraordinary Stefanie Batten Bland. Join us for a night of live performances, food, drinks, and more.

Over the past 5 years, we have celebrated women artists and advocated for inclusion by providing underrepresented creators with networking, resources, and an opportunity to present their work amongst the NYC community with the goal of impacting meaningful change in the industry. Through this festival, Dual Rivet and the MADE BY WOMEN team is dedicated to advancing the careers of cis, trans, and gender expansive women creators in dance, dance theater, and movement on film.
