Reclamation | First Female Palm Beach & Women's Art Week 2026

In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, host Bonnie Sorsby sits down with three of the women behind one of Palm Beach County's most exciting creative movements — First Female and its annual Women's Art Week. Joining the roundtable are Gaby Viteri, founder of First Female, ceramicist and Avenue Pottery founder Lani Goodrich, and multidisciplinary artist Hayley Sheldon.Together, they unpack the theme of this year's Women's Art Week — Reclamation — and what it means to reclaim creativity, childhood, materials, space, and joy. The conversation goes deep on the relationship between play and serious artistic practice, how running a creative business can pull you away from pure creation, the energetics of art-making and how it lands for viewers, and why community changes everything for women working in the creative world.You'll also get a peek inside the lineup of events happening March 6–15 across Palm Beach County — from an intimate six-woman show inside a church, to works-in-progress on display, to acoustic concerts and shamanic prayer experiences.If you've ever felt the pull between the business of making and the pure joy of it — this one's for you.🔗 First Female: firstfemalepb.com | @firstfemalepb🔗 Gaby Viteri: @gaby_viteri_🔗 Hayley Sheldon: hayleysheldon.com | @hayleysheldon🔗 Lani Goodrich / Avenue Pottery: avenuepottery.com | @avenuepottery🔗 Bonnie Sorsby: bonniesorsby.com | @bonniesorsbyart
