Who the cluck are we?
The Hen Collective are a femme-led art collective based in Edinburgh who provide free, safe, exhibition opportunities to up-coming women and non-binary artists, working within any medium, in the local area.
We aim to make art more conceptually accessible by allowing each artist the platform to fully express the themes in which they explore.
Each month we provide a solo show to a different femme, or non-binary artist, with an opening night involving films, interviews, and work stations, in order to create a welcoming environment which invites everyone to enjoy and appreciate Art.
As well as this each month we create an accompanying zine for the exhibiting artist, which also features artwork from two different artists working within the same themes in order to broaden our understanding of the ideas each Artist is working within.
The art world can often be intimidating due to the cold formality it aims to exude. We hope to replace this aloofness and replace it with a fun, warm, and welcoming approach to celebrating femme and non-binary Art and Artists.
It is important to us that art is conceptually, physically, and financially accessible to the masses, and whilst we're at it we might as well have some fun!
