Glad You Asked: NAWA Has Three Chapters Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida
The National Association of Women Artists at this time has three chapters. They are located in Massachusetts, South Carolina, and Florida, each operating as an official NAWA 501(c)3 non-profit entity. These chapters provide an avenue for Members to deepen their involvement within the organization. Members may join any or all of the chapters for a nominal fee and without requiring additional jurying. Led by their individual rosters of officers and committee chairs, these chapters actively promote and fulfill NAWA’s overarching mission in their respective regions. They facilitate a range of activities including regional exhibitions, seminars, and diverse educational programs, catering to the artistic needs and interests of members in their specific localities.
Within each chapter, members are offered ample opportunities for engagement, networking, and collaboration. The chapters serve as close-knit communities where artists can meet in person, fostering social interactions and providing a platform for sharing experiences and expertise. These in-person events allow for personal connections and exchanges that enrich the artistic journey of each member. Furthermore, the chapters occasionally collaborate on joint exhibitions, creating an environment that encourages sharing artistic endeavors and supporting one another in their creative pursuits.
Accessible through their dedicated websites and linked via the main NAWA website, these chapters significantly contribute to the broader objectives of NAWA by providing more localized, region-specific opportunities for women artists. By engaging in the chapters’ activities, members not only participate in their local artistic scenes but also contribute to the greater collective mission of empowering and advocating for women in the arts, promoting their visibility and impact within the artistic community.
