This year’s Benefit Bash theme, Rose is a Rose is a Rose, is a nod to two early twentieth century artists: writer and art patron Gertrude Stein, who memorialized the phrase in her poem “Sacred Emily,” and Rose Sélavy, artist Marcel Duchamp’s glorious alter ego whose name is a play on the French phrase “arroser la vie,” which translates to one of our favorite directives: Make a toast to life!
SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, April 16 from 7-10pm
Our annual Benefit Bash is a celebration of the art-filled life, and of the artists and patrons who have helped Women & Their Work introduce the joy of art to Austinites for nearly forty years. This night of high style and grand imaginations will take place Saturday, April 16th at the Westlake home of Emily and Danny Walker. There will be rose-infused cocktails, chance poetry, a Man-Ray-inspired photo booth, human chess pieces and a popup “flower market,” with florae by local artists for sale. The dress code: subversive floral, of course.

In past years, our spring benefits have been noted as tour de force parties, deemed the “Best Art Fundraiser” by Stephen Moser of The Austin Chronicle and “Gatsbyesque” by Michael Barnes in the Austin American-Statesman. As a non-profit, Women & Their Work’s impact is extensive despite limited resources. We rely on our sponsors, volunteers and in kind donations to keep party costs to a minimum. This ensures that the majority of the funds raised at each Benefit Bash go towards exhibitions, community outreach and educational programming. Each year, we are committed to enhancing the creative lives of more than 650 students in underserved schools.
Through the years national funders including The National Endowment for the Arts, the Andy Warhol Foundation and the Rauschenberg Foundation have generously supported Women & Their Work. We hope you will consider doing the same. Click here and you’ll find our event sponsor form that indicates sponsor levels and benefits, like a VIP sponsor party at Uchiko. Please become a sponsor no later than March 11 to be listed on our printed invitation.
