Women Rising

WOMEN RISING is an exhibition that will take place at 780 Valencia Street in San Francisco, CA and will open to the public March 12, 2022. The INSIDE/OUTSIDE Project, a SF based collaboration between the Drawing Room and Curated State, invites SF Bay area based women artists to submit a piece or a body of work for consideration in this exhibition.

We are looking for works specifically created since 2020 and hope to represent how the impacts of the past 2 years have affected artists in what they create and how their work ties to our current state of the world. We are asking artists how COVID, the recent climate crisis and the many socio-political issues happening in these most modern and recent times are affecting women artists as makers, thinkers and activists.

Works in all media will be considered including multi-media/video/sound and site-specific installation works as well as 2D and 3D works. We will be filling a very large space and have potential to activate large walls, windows and small rooms so we can take series of work and larger pieces as well but are asking for 1 submission so if including more than 1 work, include an image of the proposed grouping. We want this to be an immersive experience as well as an opportunity for artists to gain exposure and sell their work.
This exhibition is for all ages and will be open and free to the public.

Submission Form

Mauro ff, George Long and Robert Soper Piano Palace, 514 Kelly Ave. Half Moon Bay. April 30, 7pm

The future is female

Sarah Cahill solo piano 3/24 at 780 Valencia, 6pm

Concert series featuring acclaimed women performers of the Bay Area at 780 Valencia during the Women Rising Exhibition begins with Sarah Cahill and her Project “The Future is Female” on March 24th.



Sarah Cahill has been hailed as “a sterling pianist and an intrepid illuminator of the classical avant-garde” by The New York Times. Cahill’s latest project is The Future is Female, an investigation and reframing of the piano literature featuring more than seventy compositions by women around the globe, from the Baroque to the present day, including new commissioned works.


On March 4, 2022, Sarah Cahill released her latest recording, The Future is Female, Vol. 1, In Nature, on First Hand Records. The Future is Female is a three-volume series, which celebrates and highlights women composers from the 17th century to the present day. These albums encompass 30 compositions by women from around the globe and include many new commissioned works and world premiere recordings.


Cahill explains, “Like most pianists, I grew up with the classical canon, which has always excluded women composers as well as composers of colour. It is still standard practice to perform recitals consisting entirely of music written by men. The Future is Female, then, aims to be a corrective towards rebalancing the repertoire. It does not attempt to be exhaustive, in any way, and the three albums in this series represent only a small fraction of the music by women which is waiting to be performed and heard."

Golden Gate Symphony presents Beethoven, 3/31 at 780 Valencia 6:30pm

The Golden Gate Symphony Orchestra & Chorus is entering its third decade of presenting high quality musical performances and dynamic music education programs to communities in the San Francisco Bay area. These highly successful programs have earned the organization a national and international reputation.  A key vision of Maestro Steiner is to increase audience development and provide access to classical music at the community level. 


The Golden Gate Symphony achieves this through implementing live music programs through an innovative ensemble orchestra and choral group, providing works ranging from classical to contemporary compositions. 

These programs have earned the organization a national and international reputation with programs in California, Central America, and Europe.  


Maestro Steiner created the organization to provide access to classical music at the community level by encouraging amateur and professional singers, musicians and composers to collaborate closely and build community through performing live classical music.



Award winning pianist Elektra Schmidt performs as solo artist and in chamber groups in the United States, France, Greece, and the United Kingdom. As well as a flourishing performance career, Elektra curates for numerous festivals and art houses in Europe and San Francisco. She is the founder of Artist Migration, an organization dedicated to the integration and mobility of international artists.

Gameros has shared the stage with the San Francisco Symphony, Taylor Mac, Bebel Gilberto, Natalia Lafourcade, Joan Baez, and her songs and story have been featured on Billboard, Mother Jones, NPR, and PBS, to name a few.

Keyboard Magazine writes, “Through her inspired interpretation of works across the 20th and 21st centuries, Cahill has been instrumental in bringing to life the music of many of our greatest living composers.” She was named a 2018 Champion of New Music, awarded by the American Composers Forum (ACF).
