The National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. on the fourth Friday of each month, presents 45-minute informal online talks by the Museum’s educators about selected artworks from the Museum’s collections or special exhibitions. The next talk, “Twinning,” is scheduled for April 25, 2025, from 5 pm to 5:45 pm. Registration is required and tickets are free.

According to the Museum’s website, it “advocates for better representation of women artists and serves as a vital center for thought leadership, community engagement and social change.” The museum reports that just 11% of all acquisitions at prominent American museums over the past decade were of work by women artists. The collections at the NMWA feature more than 5.500 works from the 16^th century to today created by more than 1,000 artists.
