Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>The Founder of The Space Botswana Art Gallery and Creative Hub, Atang L.S. Arnold, recently bagged a prestigious award at the \u201cArt Connects Women 7th Edition\u201d in Dubai.<\/b><\/p>\n

Presented under the patronage of UNESCO and Zee Arts Gallery, the award celebrates the global impact of women in the arts and their role in fostering inclusion and sustainable development.<\/p>\n

The Art Connects Women 7th Edition Award ceremony brought together artists, activists and cultural leaders from around the world to commemorate International Women\u2019s Day and reaffirm their commitment to creating a more equitable and sustainable future.<\/p>\n

Impactful<\/p>\n

\u201cI deserve this award,\u201d she told Time Out \u201cIt comes at a point where I am already impactful in my community and have been an arts and conservation activist for the past seven years.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we celebrate International Women\u2019s Day, let us recognise the transformative power of creativity in advancing gender equality and fostering a more inclusive society. This award serves as a reminder that art has the power to connect, inspire, and empower us all.\u201d<\/p>\n

With her visionary leadership at her Maun-based The Space Botswana Art Gallery and Creative Hub, Arnold has created a vibrant platform for artists, particularly women, to showcase their talent and amplify their voices.<\/p>\n

Leading women art exhibition in the UAE<\/p>\n

Her dedication to nurturing artistic endeavours has not only enriched Botswana\u2019s cultural landscape but has also served as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring artists globally.<\/p>\n

She explained: \u201cThis is the largest leading women art exhibition in the United Arab Emirates with artists from various countries. The award has one category \u2013 to award the most impactful women in the fields of art.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe significance of winning this award to me is the representation because we are not included in other countries due to the lack of recognition as a nation that has amazing artists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inclusion, equality and empowerment<\/p>\n

The award underscores Arnold\u2019s unwavering dedication to advancing sustainable development goals, particularly Goal 5: Gender Equality.<\/p>\n

Through her art and advocacy, she has consistently championed the principles of inclusion, equality and empowerment, paving the way for a more diverse and equitable future in the arts.<\/p>\n

Arnold\u2019s Dubai trip was made possible by Dr Yrneh Gabon from the USA, Galerie Eric Du Pont from France, and Stuart J. Arnold of Travel for Impact Botswana.<\/p>\n
