UN Women UK's biannual summer fundraising party returns — this time in collaboration with the Society of Women Artists, at one of London's most iconic gallery spaces.

Join us on the evening of 24 June for an evening of art, music, spoken word, and community. Doors open at 6.30pm. The gallery closes at 8.30pm.

The evening: art, celebration and togetherness

Mall Galleries will be alive with new work from the Society of Women Artists' annual exhibition — and for one evening, it's ours.

Hear from Rachel Parker, President of the Society of Women Artists, and Tabitha Morton, CEO of UN Women UK. Reinvigorate yourself with hope as we explore what’s next for Rights. Justice. Action. for all women and girls. 

The programme also includes live music from Tara Minton — a harpist, vocalist, and composer who has performed with Björk, at the BBC Proms, and at Ronnie Scott's. London Jazz News called her playing "palpably joyful."
She'll be performing live as you move through the Society of Women Artists' 165th Annual Exhibition.

And spoken word from Iffat Rahman - @sincerely.iffat. Iffat is a Spoken Word Artist and poet who started writing 7 years ago at age 14. Since then, she has been nominated for awards, been published on Penguin Random House’s Website, magazines and became an internationally published poet.

The full gallery will be open throughout the evening, with drinks available and time to connect with a community of people committed to gender equality.

Dress code: dress to celebrate.

A fundraising event: building an equal future for all women and girls

Raffle courtesy of the Society of Women Artists

A collection of original paintings have been donated for our charity raffle — each a unique work from an artist whose practice deserves a place on your walls.

Raffle tickets are available to add when you book and will be sold on the night.

Make sure you're a part of it on 24 June

The world doesn't change on its own. It changes because people decide — again and again, in good moments and hard ones — that it should.

This is one of those moments. A night to come together, to see what's possible when creativity and commitment share a room, and to put real resource behind the work that needs doing.
