Women & Their Work

Women & Their Work fosters the artistic growth of women artists by encouraging them to make new, adventurous work and develops audiences for whom contemporary art is meaningful. Our goal is to ensure that diverse women artists are equitably represented in all forms of art. Since 1978, Women & Their Work has been a cornerstone of the arts community and has actively developed the careers of more than 1,900 women artists presenting hundreds of visual art exhibitions, music, dance and theater events, film festivals and education programs. Women & Their Work is one of the few organizations in the United States that dedicates itself to the work of women artists. Nationally recognized, Women & Their Work has been featured in Art in America, The New York Times, ArtForum, and on National Public Radio and was the first organization in Texas to receive a grant in visual art from the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2020, the Smithsonian Archives of American Art acquired the 43-year archive of Women & Their Work ensuring that our entire history of the work of women artists and our website will be preserved in perpetuity.
