Spring Luncheon Series

Five people are seated at a long table with a grey and white striped tablecloth, set with plates, napkins, silverware, drinks, and family-style food. A woman with short, black hair and light colored skin reads from a book.
Launching during Women’s History Month and coinciding with NMWA’s 40th anniversary, the Spring Luncheon Series invites guests to explore the many ways women shape creativity, culture, and innovation.

As the first museum in the world dedicated to championing women artists, NMWA has long celebrated the art of seeing differently, thinking boldly, and elevating voices that transform our world. This spring, we continue that legacy by convening thought leaders whose work reflects the depth and breadth of women’s creative impact.

Each luncheon features an intimate meal followed by a conversation that examines the art of leading, making, investing, imagining, and inspiring all through the perspectives of remarkable women defining our cultural moment.

An audience of seated people watch woman with light colored skin and medium length brown hair and a grey jumpsuit speak behind a silver and clear podium that reads "National Museum of Women in the Arts." She speaks on a dark wood stage with blue curtains and two monitors with various photographs of art by woman artists.

The Art of… Series

One luncheon will be presented each month: March, April, and May 2026. Intimate by design, each gathering welcomes 50 to 75 guests for meaningful conversation and exchange.

Guests will have the museum entirely to themselves, experiencing NMWA’s exhibitions through private viewings and curatorial insights. Each luncheon is conceived to inspire connection, spark collaboration, and deepen engagement with the creative voices shaping our cultural moment.

Join us for this inspiring series that celebrates women’s voices and underscores NMWA’s continued role as a force for change. Seating is limited; guests are encouraged to reserve early. Sponsorship opportunities are available.
