About Lady Brain Presents

As 2018 came to close, a group of local lady artists gathered together to share their experiences of independently pursuing careers in the arts in San Diego. We typically only present a sliver of the real picture on social media, so this was an opportunity be open, honest, vulnerable - and um, human. Hearing these stories was not only inspirational and empowering, but it also crystalized the fact that we face so many of the same roadblocks. As a group, we decided it would be wonderful to not only continue these meet-ups, but also pool our resources together via shared contacts and community gatherings.

VISION
Our vision is to reject the notion that women-identifying artists must compete or hoard information in order to succeed in their respective fields. Lady Brain Collective believes that women are excellent at building communities, celebrating creativity, sparking inspiration, and taking care of each other. Based on the foundation of service, members openly and willingly offer their unique skills, knowledge, ideas, and talents to their fellow sisters in order to develop creative and collaborative opportunities for each other, thereby transforming the definition of what it means to be a successful artist. A rising tide lifts all boats, and the Lady Brain Collective is indeed a rising tide.

MISSION
Lady Brain Collective supports each other through:
-monthly meet-ups & discussions (members only)
-monthly community gatherings (everyone's invited!)
-shared resources/online support (help with booking, job opportunities, press, social media engagement)
-member-generated press (blog, podcast, etc.)

​DIVERSITY/INCLUSIVITY  
Lady Brain Collective embraces diversity in all forms - age, race, culture, sexual orientation, gender identification, religion, artistic expression, etc. - and commits to creating an open and safe space for all members.

Lady Brain Collective founder/organizer Lindsay White is an intersectional feminist whose focus with this group is not only to support and empower women-identifying artists in the San Diego area, but also to dismantle the patriarchy. In addition to examining the ways our system/society is set up to oppress women as a whole, she is committed to acknowledging, confronting, and utilizing her own privilege to help shine a light on womxn whose voices are traditionally unheard or silenced.
