Landscape And Places The Women in Arts Network is pleased to share an early look at the submissions arriving for our upcoming International Virtual Exhibition, Landscape and Places.

In this interview, Sokhna Mariama talks about migration, nature, and working across different mediums. She shares how her life between Dakar and Italy shaped her way of seeing, how ideas guide her process, and how her projects invite people to take part rather than only observe.
The 2026 edition of Art Basel marks a visible shift in who leads and shapes the world’s most important contemporary art fair. In recent years, women leaders have taken central roles across the Art Basel ecosystem, guiding key editions of the fair and influencing how galleries, artists, and collectors intersect at global market moments. This shift isn’t anecdotal, it reflects deeper changes in the art world’s leadership and collector base, and is showing up clearly at multiple global fairs tied to Art Basel. Art Basel Miami Beach, one of the most…
In 2024, as reported by Artsy, galleries worldwide are becoming increasingly selective, with nearly 60 percent of reviewed portfolios receiving only preliminary consideration before deeper evaluation. The scrutiny reflects not just the quality of work but how it aligns with the gallery’s ongoing narrative, institutional relationships, and collector expectations. Understanding what galleries are prioritizing offers insight into how artists’ practices intersect with broader market and curatorial logics. Portfolios no longer exist in isolation. They are read in the context of exhibitions, past sales, and institutional visibility. Galleries act as both tastemakers…
Change is the only constant, even in the art world, where trends can appear overnight and fade just as quickly. What felt groundbreaking last year can suddenly seem outdated, while what feels fresh today might be tomorrow’s standard. As we approach 2026, the art market is quietly but significantly evolving, and the shifts taking place are already affecting the way artists present and sell their work, collectors make purchasing decisions, and audiences experience creativity. This is not some vague prediction for the future, it is a reality you can already see…
If you’ve been wondering whether your art belongs here, consider this your reassurance: it does. And more importantly, it’s wanted. Every submission so far has expanded this exhibition in ways we never expected, but there is still a space that only your perspective can fill. So if a place has shaped your heart, your imagination, or your identity, share that story through your work. Submit now, and let your landscape become part of a growing global dialogue about memory, meaning, and the worlds we carry within us.
When a place stays with us, it leaves a mark on memory, on imagination, on art. The Women in Arts Network invites women-identifying and non-binary artists to explore the theme “Landscapes & Places” in our international virtual exhibition. Whether real, remembered, or imagined, these spaces shape who we are and how we see the world. Submit your work and share the places that live inside you.
Let your art mark a powerful ending to 2025 and an inspiring beginning to what comes next. Submissions for Artist of the Month December 2025 are open, share your voice and your vision.
Time is almost up! Submit your work to Faces before November 25, 2025. This is a chance for women-identifying and non-binary artists to explore identity, expression, and emotion through faces whether portraits, abstract forms, or conceptual interpretations. Your art could inspire, move, and connect audiences across the globe.
Artists often focus on the work itself, and that focus is essential, but the way the work is presented creates the first layer of trust. A strong piece can lose its impact when the surrounding details feel rushed, unclear, or inconsistent. People rarely say this out loud, but presentation becomes the quiet filter through which curators, galleries, and jurors decide whether someone feels ready for professional opportunities. The small things carry weight because they reveal how seriously an artist treats their own practice. What surprises many emerging artists is that these…
