The vision behind artSIStra
By Henriette Hellstern, Founder

With a fierce passion to transform the imbalances of the art world and rewrite a more inclusive, multifaceted art history, I founded artSIStra - a refined, empowering community for contemporary female artists. A living sisterhood where creativity is nurtured, voices are amplified, and artists rise together with purpose and pride.

Because what is stronger than one woman?

A collective of women. United. Unapologetic. Unstoppable.

The journey of an artist is often solitary - countless hours spent alone in the studio, in quiet dialogue with one’s work. artSIStra was born to shift that solitude into solidarity. Through intimate artist gatherings, curated trips, and deeply honest conversations, our network becomes a sanctuary - a space to exchange wisdom, navigate challenges, and grow both individually and together.

Here, we don’t just share art.
We share strength.
We share vision.
We share the future.

Our world, for centuries, has been designed and documented predominantly by men. Yet art is our mirror - and everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in its frame. artSIStra champions diverse female perspectives that embody the richness of our time, our stories, and our lived experiences.

This movement is not static - it is expansive, fluid, and inclusive. Like ripples on water, the artSIStra energy spreads - creating impact across borders, industries, and generations.

Our business partnerships will predominantly uplift and collaborate with other women-led ventures, weaving a strong fabric of female influence across sectors. And when balance has been meaningfully restored, we will welcome our art brothers - not as competitors, but as equals.

Today, over two-thirds of the artworks acquired by Danish museums are created by men. This disproportion not only skews representation - it distorts the very narrative of our cultural heritage. artSIStra is here to rebalance that story.To ensure future generations encounter a more truthful, vibrant, and equitable visual legacy.

Our purpose is simple yet ambitious:
To ensure art history finally includes the women shaping it.

Stay connected with us here, and follow our journey on Instagram and Facebook - where I will soon unveil our next bold steps.

And in the meantime, dear art lover - take a moment to look at your walls.
Does your collection reflect the world as it truly is?

Thank you for your time, your belief, and your support.

With sisterhood,
Henriette Hellstern
