“ARTFEM 第一届国际女艺术家澳门双年展”（ARTFEM 2018）已于2018年3月8日开幕，此展旨在表扬女性在艺术创作上的成就，为澳门带来更多国际性的艺术展览。 现时世界各地的机构亦在举行各式各样的双年展，要寻找到合适的主题及空间并不容易。因此，ARTFEM的创办人马若龙决定把主题集中在今时今日仍然活跃的女性艺术家身上。 此项目源于2000年，虽然因为预算短缺的问题一直未能成形，却为未来的发展奠下基础。这次双年展幸运地得到现年83岁的传奇葡萄牙艺术家保拉．雷戈（Paula Rego）的支持，答允担任是这双年展的倡导者，而她的女儿Victoria Willing则代表了她来澳亲身支持展览。 婆仔屋文创空间主席马若龙对双年展的发展十分乐观。一个成功的展览除了需要更多的预算及国际曝光率，同时亦须具备吸引国际艺术界人士的能力，包括评论家、策展人及艺术家。 ARTFEM将继续以珠三角地区为基础，迈步国际。
