The North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA) hosts a weekend of events March 8–10, 2019, in celebration of International Women’s Day, globally recognized on March 8 to mark the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women and continue the call to action for gender parity. The theme of the weekend is “Take Up Space,” and activities are designed to engage a broad and inclusive audience across the gender spectrum, including trans women and nonbinary individuals. Men and children are also encouraged to attend.

The weekend offers three days of inclusive, imaginative, and thought-provoking activities including artist-led tours, yoga, workshops, and a pop-up chorus to activate, empower, and nurture. It is sponsored by the NCMA’s Matrons of the Arts, an initiative that presents programs, exhibitions, and acquisitions by and about women artists. See the full schedule at ncartmuseum.org/takeupspace.
