The Muses

A collective for women in arts & culture.

Born from a desire to find like-minded women in the arts who care deeply about the work we do, The Muses is a community of dedicated arts professionals and creatives bound by purpose, passion and connection.

The Muses gather through co-working sessions, monthly calls, ongoing online conversation spaces, and outings to exhibitions and events.

We’re based in Oxford, London and online. At the moment, the community is totally free.

Applications Open

Now accepting applications from women working in arts & culture who share our passion for art, expression, communication, creativity, culture, diversity and doing all things with love, intention and purpose.

Created and Curated by Issabella Orlando

Storyteller, filmmaker, poet, and creative consultant to the culture sector, Issabella wears many hats and her heart on her sleeve. While forging her own path as a freelancer in arts & culture, she sensed a deep need for community among women who felt alone in their passion and commitment to giving this work their all.

She created The Muses to bring together fellow purposeful, open-hearted and intentional women, and to create opportunities for connection, conversation and collective creativity.
