Women Supporting Women: Loft Projects NY Art Exhibition Funds Ovarian Cancer Research
November 20, 2024
When women support women, extraordinary things happen. We at Not These Ovaries are honored to be included in Loft Projects‘ holiday giving initiative, where founder and director Leslie Weissman has curated an all-female artist exhibition that turns creativity into meaningful impact. Through this program, art buyers can choose to direct a portion of their purchase to support ovarian cancer research.
The Power of Women-Led Impact
Seventeen contemporary female artists have come together through Loft Projects to create a charitable impact through art. When you purchase artwork and mention Not These Ovaries, Loft Projects will donate 10% of your purchase to fund critical studies and trials. As with all donations to Not These Ovaries, 100% goes directly to science.
Meet Our Partner
Leslie Weissman embodies the spirit of women supporting women. As a creative entrepreneur, artist, and curator, she has dedicated her career to nurturing every facet of the fine art ecosystem.
Her work extends beyond creating art. She coaches fellow artists and facilitates connections between artists and opportunities in galleries, residencies, and museums. As an art advisor, she guides individuals and institutions in curating and managing their collections.
Loft Projects, with locations in NYC and Chappaqua, serves as a vital hub for artistic expression and community impact. This partnership with Not These Ovaries perfectly aligns with Leslie’s commitment to meaningful engagement in the arts.
Why This Matters
Every year, thousands of women face ovarian cancer diagnoses, particularly younger women with rare subtypes like low-grade serous and borderline ovarian cancer. These forms remain severely underfunded, limiting treatment options and survival rates. Through this partnership, art becomes a powerful vehicle for change, connecting women artists directly to women’s health research.

These accomplished artists bring diverse perspectives through their work:
- Delicate oil portraits that capture intimate moments
