The National Association of Women Artists and Haworth Library present When Words are Not Enough, an exhibition of artworks by NAWA Signature Artists, measuring 13×13 inches or smaller. These small-scale pieces, while modest in size, display an expansive and powerful variety of creativity offered within limited-scale.
Like pages from a shared book, these pieces should draw viewers in, encouraging close study as their quiet stories unfold in detailed form.
About NAWA
The National Association of Women Artists (NAWA), founded in 1889, stands as the first professional women’s art organization established in the United States.
Five pioneering women sought to address the lack of opportunities for women artists. Anita C. Ashley, Adele Francis Bedell, Elizabeth S. Cheever, Grace Fitz-Randolph andEdith Mitchill Prellwitz spearheaded a vital alternative to the restrictions of the day, providing a supportive network and avenues for exhibition.
NAWA provides exhibition opportunities for its members, and promotes culture through events, education, scholarships & awards. The NAWA Catalog is archived in over 10 high-profile institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, The Library of Congress, and more. The Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, holds a permanent collection of NAWA art, underscoring the organization’s significant impact on American art history.
Current Signature Members are juried into NAWA for a lifetime membership, once accepted.
