Membership

Interested in WAOW Membership?

To promote art by women successfully, you must have wonderful work to promote. An art group cannot be everything to everybody. WAOW bylaws request that our 2D members paintings be executed in - but not limited to - the mediums oil, acrylic, watercolor, casein, tempera, and pastel.  3D, sculpture, is to be executed in - but not limited to - the mediums of wood, metal, stone and clay. All Members are juried in through a process.

​The Board of Directors makes the final definition as to subject, medium, originality and suitability of work submitted for jurying.

Note: It takes a village to make an art organization run smoothy and successfully. We require a woman planning to apply:

  • has the mindset of a team player…

  • has access to email and has her own professional art website.

As in many aspects of life, membership in WAOW gives back according to effort expended.
