The third edition of the Empower Her Art Forum, organized by Art Today Foundation for Arts, will take place at the Grand Egyptian Museum from May 16 to 20. 

 The event will bring together a distinguished group of female artists from around the world, alongside ambassadors, diplomats, prominent public figures, and icons from the fields of art, media, and culture from Egypt, the Arab region, and beyond.

The Empower Her Art Forum is an international gathering that celebrates the artistic achievements of women from all over the world. This year’s edition is held under the patronage of the Egyptian Ministries of Environment, Social Solidarity, Culture, Youth & Sports, Tourism and Antiquities and The Egyptian tourism Authority.

The forum focuses on highlighting the pivotal role of art as an effective tool for women’s empowerment, offering a multi-activity platform that includes a visual art exhibition showcasing outstanding works, panel discussions, interactive workshops, and live painting sessions. The event aims to foster cultural exchange and promote the values of peace, justice, and equality through creativity.

This year’s edition will spotlight the artistic brilliance of women, featuring over 200 female artists from more than 35 countries. The opening ceremony will witness the attendance of notable dignitaries, diplomats, and artists from Egypt and abroad. 

The event includes several professional-led workshops and insightful panel discussions centered on the role of art.

Artist Sherine Badr, Founder and CEO of Art Today Foundation, emphasized that the forum goes beyond being an art event to become a true platform for transformation and empowerment. Badr stated, “We are not only celebrating creativity, we are striving to empower female artists and give them the recognition and visibility they deserve by shedding light on their inspiring journeys.”

She added that this year’s edition features a rich program of lectures and discussions on the evolution of modern art, along with hands-on workshops led by a select group of international female artists. 

The forum also pays special attention to the inclusion of people with disabilities both in the artistic process and as art appreciators reflecting the foundation’s belief that art is a universal and inclusive language.

A cooperation protocol will be signed between Art Today Foundation and the Women’s Museum in Bonn, Germany. As part of the agreement, travel grants will be awarded to five Egyptian female visual artists."

Over several days, the forum will welcome all art enthusiasts to engage with its powerful human message, creating a scene that embodies the convergence of civilizations through art and reflects the forum’s core mission of empowering women and amplifying their voices both regionally and globally.
