Portraits & Stories Gala - VIP: RSVP Below

An evening of revelation, presence, and unseen depth surrounding women in all phases of menopause.

Thirty women. Thirty moments of raw presence. A visual anthology honoring what happens when we stop apologizing for who we are and step into who we have always been.

The evening brings together the artist, community supporters, and the women featured in the collection to stand among the work and celebrate this unfolding chapter together.

30 museum-grade matted portraits presented in an immersive gallery rail installation.

Exclusive first-look at a freshly published magazine: Crone Culture Premiere Issue #1, Shift. This is a beautiful, edgy magazine for women+ of a certain age.

The Gala vibe: Elegant, grounded, celebratory, & intimate.
