Exhibitors
Perhaps Your Facility
We are always searching for venues - whether galleries, art centers or museums - who wish to promote art by women. An exhibition usually consists of between 125-150 juried works, including paintings and sculpture. If hosting a WAOW show and sale interests you, please contact us. We'd be delighted to hear from you and answer any questions.
WAOW
Membership
WAOW membership includes approximately 300+ professional women artists living in the U.S., Canada and Australia. Many members share their expertise through workshops and books and - for the members’ proprietary benefit - an online forum exists to share art tips and participate in extended discussions. We offer an education program and a scholarship program. Art enthusiasts who donate to these programs are appreciated.
What Holds Us Together
The common thread of WAOW artists is the passion for their work and the desire to express the joy and beauty of the world around them. During the organization’s existence, WAOW members have collectively made their mark on the art world while supporting and promoting each other in a spirit of unity. They have done this as a team of professionals, with plans to continue the journey together.
