We will have the privilege of enjoying the première of the ‘Women Who Dared’ art collection, which Sandi and Bill Nicholson assembled with care and passion over the last thirty years.  The result is the largest privately owned collection of art exclusively by women artists. The collection includes over 400 pieces of art, spanning 2,500 years, from all 7 continents around the world, combining to help make this celebration a culturally important occasion.

As part of our celebration, we will also première short films specially created for the 'Women Who Dared' collection by accomplished women, including Katy Perry, Carol Burnett, Gloria Estefan, and many more.  These never before seen films tell the story of the remarkable women artists featured in the collection.
