NAWA – THE SOURCE- FOR 135 YEARS!

For over 136 remarkable years, the National Association of Women Artists has stood as a beacon of opportunity and advancement for women in the arts. While we celebrate recent progress in recognizing women artists, the statistics remain stark:

The Reality Today:

  • Women artists are still significantly underrepresented in major museums, galleries, and collections worldwide.
  • Despite women earning more than half of the MFAs granted in the United States, only 13% of art on display in major U.S. museums is by women artists
  • Even more telling, while 51% of today’s working visual artists are women, they represent only 14% of exhibitions at leading art institutions.
