Ever felt that life should contain something other than the daily round? Looking for something that sparks your curiosity, brings you together with other like-minded people and gives you a break from the outside world?
Enter the Joyful Women Collective!
Everyone in the Collective will be invited to curate and stage the first ever JWC exhibition in November 2026, choosing the theme, the works and the interpretation.
Taking place on the first Thursday of every month, we provide the artists, the expertise, the drink and the cake to make the evening swing. All you need to do is bring yourself!
LAUNCH EVENT/TASTER SESSION
📍 Hundred Heroines Museum (directions here)
📅 Thursday 6 November
🕒 18:30
🎟️ Free (booking recommended)
Come along to our free launch event on 6 November at 6.30 pm. Our curator will be on hand to give you an exclusive tour and informal talk about some of the great women artists featured in our collection including Dorothy Wilding, Helen Chadwick and Hannah Höch. Get stuck into our creativity corners where there will be drinks and snacks to sustain you through the evening.
Book your free ticket to the launch event through Eventbrite or by emailing hello@hundredheroines.org (subject line: JWC)
After the taster event, membership comes in at three levels:
1. Occasional Heroine – unsure, or only want to come along occasionally? This level gives you flexibility and no large up-front financial commitment. A one-off fee of £25 per evening applies.
2. Great Heroine – keen to secure your spot at every session and make a commitment to being a Joyful Woman? A monthly subscription of £15 (or annual payment of £180) is all it will cost you (less than a coffee a week – and won’t keep you up at night).
3. Super Heroine – reserved for the generous and the public spirited, this level not only buys you a subscription but subsidises a free space to those who can’t afford to buy themselves one, but who would really benefit from being a part of the Collective. An annual payment of £300 gets you and one other person annual membership, our thanks and a special feeling of Joyfulness to revel in.
To become a Great or Super Heroine, email Tonia via hello@hundredheroines.org for more information.
