For 40 years, the National Museum of Women in the Arts has challenged the systems keeping women artists out of the spotlight. What began with our founder’s simple question about why women were omitted from art history has grown into a powerful network and movement. Today, our members, supporters, artists, advocates, collectors, and cultural partners are committed to lighting the path for women artists.

NMWA’s 40th anniversary celebrates the cultural shift it helped launch and the community that continues to light the way, ensuring that the next generation of women artists is essential to the story of art.
