What you focus on grows
The Creative Gals’ Guild (CGG) is a global, collaborative, creative network, founded in Naarm (Melbourne), for women who are keen to catch up every couple of months, about creative projects.
The CGG is non-heirarchical. All members are valued for the unique ways they contribute and influence CGG projects, using their personal strengths and interests to make a positive impact.
The Guild is a terrific way for women and non-binary artists to sound or launch ideas in a supportive environment and includes some wonderful collaborative art exhibitions.
Our basic, working framework invites participants to meet-up in person or online to share:
What they’re working on
How they see the work evolving
How the CGG can support the creative project
Constructive feedback and support
The Guild host regular art exhibitions, workshops and events.

CGG, Co-founder
“Organic, creative, community culture is not something that is government led. It’s energy doesn’t reside in quangos, initiatives and policies. It starts with a declaration of faith. It starts with somebody opening a gallery or people getting together to curate an exhibition.”
Patron, CGG exhibition
“This was the best! I felt like I was in an episode of [HBO series] Girls. People will remember this event for years to come.”

Manifesto
Creative Gals’ Guild
Who we are
The Creative Gals' Guild (CGG) is a global collective of women and non-binary creatives, rooted in local community and based in Melbourne. We are a not-for-profit group committed to enabling everyday art opportunities and fostering inclusive, accessible creativity. With over 40 members and a core leadership group, we are growing a network grounded in collaboration, care, and empowerment.
Our Purpose
Founded in September 2024, CGG exists to support artistic growth and amplify voices often underrepresented in mainstream creative spaces. We believe that community, collectivism, and nurturing innovation are essential tools in addressing the social, environmental, and economic challenges of our time.
What We Stand For
Creative empowerment for women and non-binary people.
Safe and inclusive spaces for collaboration, generously hosted by partners like BSIDE Gallery and Fitzroy North Library.
Art as action, where creativity contributes to broader conversations on peace, sustainability, and equity.
Representation without compromise, challenging systems of injustice, discrimination, and silencing.
Local strength with global vision, inspired by international solidarity and shared purpose.
Why It Matters
In a world shaped by climate crisis, war, inequality, and cultural erasure, CGG offers a space for resilience, belonging, and expression.
As wildlife declines, poverty rises, and dominant power structures marginalise, we respond with creative solidarity.
Our Invitation
The Creative Gals' Guild is a space where female and non-binary voices are celebrated, heard, and seen. We welcome those who seek community, expression, and change—through art, together.
