Emily Cargill and Dancers is producing Jacksonville's third annual Women Arts Exchange on March 28 + 29 at The Jessie.  WAX will promote, highlight and feature bold, unique and interesting women artists in Jacksonville and the surrounding areas in the visual and performance art genres. WAX is our way of paying homage to the important and necessary impact that women have had on our culture, our community and our world.

This year WAX has 20 of THE MOST innovative and interesting local visual artists presenting their work at the Women Arts Exchange.  These women span from emerging through professional artists, working in mediums of all types such as painting, sculpture, 3-D installation, photography, print work and ceramics.  We are also thrilled to get the WAX vibes going with local female DJ icon, LunaXcel, playing live as you sip, stroll, mingle, chat, and get the inspiration moving!
