NATIONAL MUSEUM OF WOMEN IN THE ARTS
The National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) is the first museum in the world solely dedicated to championing women through the arts. With its collections, exhibitions, programs, and online content, the museum inspires dynamic exchanges about art and ideas. NMWA advocates for better representation of women artists and serves as a vital center for thought leadership, community engagement, and social change. NMWA addresses the gender imbalance in the presentation of art by bringing to light important women artists of the past while promoting great women artists working today.
The Arizona Committee National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) is part of a network of over 30 committees throughout the US and World. The Arizona Committee is a volunteer organization (established in 2020 and incorporated as a 501©(3) organization in Spring 2024) that supports and extends the goals of NMWA. The Committee conducts local programs designed to further the membership, development, fundraising, educational and exhibition objectives of NMWA—thereby broadening NMWA’s base of support throughout the world, and allowing NMWA to be a truly national and international institution.
