Am I Write, Ladies? is a recurring series I created in 2014 featuring new live and visual artwork of all disciplines by women and gender non-conforming artists, created to provide opportunities for creators of all genres and backgrounds to develop and publicly showcase their work. Since then, the team has expanded to include Sammi Miller as associate producer and curator.

AIWL happens every three months and is submission-based—we are currently on hiatus, though! Any woman, trans, or gender non-conforming artist can submit (we are trans and POC-inclusive, and we pay!) and interested artists should keep tabs on Facebook and Instagram to be alerted of upcoming opportunities.

AIWL has been featured in The New Yorker, She's An Artist podcast, Nooklyn, Bushwick Daily, Brokelyn, Gothamist, and Flavorpill.
