The Ladies' Art House is a collective, founded by painter Jen Hintz Eggers, dedicated to creating space to thrive on the exchange of ideas and resources within a creative community. Each of our practices become stronger when we avoid isolation and combine our varied strengths or share responsibility. In founding this collective, we seek to hold anti-discriminatory space for women and anyone with lived experience of misogyny. Our founding members are installation artist Kristina Ellura and painter Rebecca Howell.
