PENNYSLVANIA CHAPTER

It’s official! As of August 14, 2024, the National Association of Women Artists, added a new chapter to the ranks of those in Florida, Massachusetts and South Carolina. Developed out of the void left by Covid, former FL Chapter member, Lolly Owens, felt the need to create a link among professional women artists who are willing to build connections and pathways that are transformative for themselves and others in the community. She began with researching names of those in the NAWA annual catalog listed as living in PA. An email inviting them to a Zoom meeting began what continues to be monthly online meetings of getting to know each other and discussing chapter formation. In March, 2024, 12 women donated funds so we could have a Zoom account that allowed us more than 30 minutes.

We are in the early stages of filling committee positions and plan to have Membership, Publicity, Website and Fundraising committees to facilitate activities. Our Exhibition Committee (June Blumberg, Elizabeth Myers Castonguay, and Mandi Moerland) are researching locations.
