About idle women

idle women is an organisation that initiates, creates and produces contemporary art with women. Founded by its two caretakers Rachel Anderson and Cis O’Boyle in 2015. idle women (on the water) is an inaugural touring project delivered in collaboration with partners in the North West. They initially thought of idle women as a retreat, a place to recover and restore…but as the idea grew realised that what they want is to create is a space that both restores and activates, somewhere that inspires and grows our creative voices and our power.
