National Museum Exhibitions: 25 in 25
Our main program is to have 25 museum shows in 25 years in the US and Canada for women artists who are part of the AWA network. We work with museums across the country to secure an annual show of works by AWA artists to broaden the recognition of women in the visual arts. We arrange media coverage in national arts publications and related outlets and produce a show catalog to accompany exhibits.
Women make up more than half of the working artists in the country today, yet some data states that only 5% of the permanent holdings of art museums in this country are by women and museum exhibitions focused on working women artists are uncommon. American Women Artists works with other organizations and museums to work toward more representation of women as working artists, creating an art history for the future that speaks more fully to the interpretation of our times
Annual Gallery Exhibition
Provides exhibition opportunities in fine art galleries to Signature and Master level AWA members, giving women artists national exposure and helping to support their work in the field of visual fine arts.
Online Juried Show
Juried Competition and exhibition opportunity online through AWA website for Associate and Associate with Distinction AWA Members. Provides experience in preparing work for juried competition at national level, and opportunity to be selected as finalists appearing in yearlong gallery exhibit on AWA website.
Finalists selected receive exposure and promotion of their work through the web presence, along with cash awards and prize packages, helping to support their work in the field of visual fine arts, and increasing the level of recognition of their work.
