Inclusivity

Twelve vertical columns, each a different color, of repeating flower, pinwheel, and starburst shapes on a white background.
As the first major museum devoted to the creative work of women, NMWA was founded on principles of inclusion and access. These values are ingrained throughout our work.

Gender Identity Statement

Gender equity in the arts is the core of NMWA. Since opening in 1987, the museum has worked to counter an art-historical narrative that persistently disregards women. We strive to center the distinct voices of artists and audiences whose identities, experiences, and accomplishments compel NMWA to become a place of belonging and understanding.

A black-and-white image of a light-skinned woman is centered atop a grey-and-white vertically striped background. She wears pearls and holds a pair of binoculars to her eyes while smiling widely. Superimposed over the image are four red horizontal bands with the phrase 'We will no longer be seen and not heard' in white block letters.
