A Word From Your Co-Editors

For women have sat indoors all these millions of years, so that by this time the very walls are permeated by their creative force…which has, indeed, so overcharged the capacity of bricks and mortar that it must needs harness itself to pens and brushes and business and politics. (Virginia Woolf)

I recently discovered those prescient words on a pamphlet for NAWA’s permanent collection at the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.  I couldn’t help thinking of how many of us have spent our daily lives indoors during the current pandemic.  In addition to daily chores, some of those hours have been spent trying to harness our creative powers, to summon our better angels to create the artwork that lies within our minds and hearts.

Now, with the promise of vaccinations on the horizon, a new day is coming.  Just as spring bursts forth with new life, filling the air with fresh expectations, we too will find new inspiration.  NAWA has a new home at the National Arts Club, with future plans for the events and exhibits that will unite us again.

We encourage you to reach out to us with your news.  This is your newsletter, and we want to fill it not only with your exhibitions but the thoughts and activities that replenish and inspire you. Please keep in touch as we continue to make NAWA the strong and supportive national organization it has proven itself to be!
