Women To Be invites Artists to submit original artwork and jewelry to the Silent Auction for our upcoming flagship fundraising event: Pads 2018: Wine for Womanhood. Artists will be offered compensation of 50% of the auction price of their work.

This fundraiser will directly support Women To Be’s 2018 plans:

  • Fabrication and distribution of 7000 ‘kits’ containing underwear and reusable sanitary pads throughout Zambia and Nepal. Also provide sex education to women and girls as they receive their kits.
  • Establishment of sewing centers in Zambia and Nepal to train and employ local women to fabricate our kits.  Create jobs!
  • Welcome the Paramount King of the Bemba Tribe of Zambia who comes to partner with Women To Be for the benefit of women and girls in Zambia. More details of his April, 2018 visit coming soon!

Submission Guidelines

Submit artwork and get paid promptly by closely following the following guidelines:

  • All submissions must arrive at the mailbox by April 22, 2018.
  • Submit artwork in packaging that may be reused to return it if not sold. Have art professionally packaged if you’re not sure.
  • Multiple submissions are accepted. Submit one printed and filled-out form for each piece submitted.
