We want to see familiar faces and ones we are yet to meet, so if you know anyone who has a talent to share, please forward along to them!

We are a non-profit focused on empowering more women to lead the always evolving energy sector in Alberta. One of our flagship programs is our annual Awards program where we recognize, reward and celebrate ten (10) women who are changing the face of energy.

We are hosting our Awards Celebration this year on June 2, 2022 for this year and last year’s recipients, and are looking for 10-20 artists who would be interested in creating a piece of art to tell each Award Winner’s ‘diversity’ story. We’re looking for artists of all types — painting, ceramics, glass, fibre, sculpture, etc.

Each artist will be paid $250 per each piece of art, and you will own the piece of art you create (and can sell it for profit afterwards). We would like to photograph each piece of art and pass out prints of the art created to attendees at the event.

If you’re interested, please get in touch, and we’d love to introduce you to the wonderful women who are changing the energy industry.
