Women of Culture

Celebrate International Women’s Day at our Women of Culture Event, 6^th March

Women of Culture – Celebrating Women in the Cultural Sector

Bucks Culture is hosting Women of Culture, a special networking and celebratory event in honour of International Women’s Day, bringing together women in the cultural sector.

On March 6th, we bring together women working across Buckinghamshire’s cultural sector to exchange ideas, share insights, and build meaningful connections. This event is a dedicated space to reflect on the role of women in the arts and culture, celebrate achievements, and discuss the challenges that remain. While the session is designed with women in mind, men are welcome as allies—this is about fostering an inclusive and supportive conversation.

Rosie Axon (Founder and Director, Chiltern Music Therapy), Betty Makharinsky (Founder and Executive Director, Vache Baroque), and Vicky Hope-Walker (CEO, National Paralympic Heritage Trust) will lead a dynamic and interactive session, offering insight into their experiences as founders and leaders in the cultural sector. Through artist-led discussions and participatory activities, they will explore the role of music and the female voice in storytelling, leadership, and creative expression.  As part of the Female Founder Journey, Rosie and Betty will share their perspectives on establishing and leading cultural organisations, while Vicky will provide insight into her work with the National Paralympic Heritage Trust, highlighting her leadership in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion within the sector.
