ABOUT US

atxGALS is the largest collective of emerging women and nonbinary artists in Austin. Our mission is to give local women and nonbinary artists more recognition in the art world by creating more exposure for them through unique, pop-up shows and curation opportunities. Our goal is to contribute to each artist's success while also giving back to community by supporting local organizations that have a primary focus on human rights and equality. Artists keep 100% of their art sales from atxGALS events, and a significant portion of the event proceeds supports the organization/s involved.

Since being founded by Mexico-native, Mónica Ceniceros, in 2017, our collective has grown from 14 artists to now 25 artists–and growing–and has raised over $50k for GEN (Girls Empowerment Network), and other local Organizations.

atxGALS art exhibits are accessible, fun, and are an open invitation to genuinely connect with talented artists that are passionate about their work and sharing their artistic process.

OUR TEAM

Mónica Ceniceros
Founder | CEO

Monica has been making art since she can remember. Growing up in Mexico, she experienced the colorful culture that is reflected in her work today. She's known for her unique technique of rich color combinations along wood grains. By working with the natural imperfections of the wood, she reminds us that there is beauty in even the simplest of things. "We should embrace what makes us unique, learn to work through our layers and imperfections and transform into the best version of ourselves. True beauty lies in individuality." Monica's experience in marketing and events combined with her passion for helping women artist succeed led her to the creation of atxGALS. She has been working on the group's growth and success since their official launch in 2017 and is the vision and direction behind every event.
