CHAMPIONING WYOMING WOMEN IN THE ARTS
The Wyoming Steering Committee exists to spread the mission of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, advocate for women artists and curatorial professionals in Wyoming and serve as NMWA ambassadors.
2024 Women to Watch Exhibit
Women to Watch is the National Museum of Women in the Art's biennial exhibition series that features underrepresented and emerging women artists who create in any medium including, but not limited to, painting, sculpture, print, drawing, photography, film, digital, installation, and sound.
Wyoming will participate for the first time in NMWA’s Women to Watch exhibition, held in Washington, DC in 2024.
87% of the works in major museum collections are by men.
5 Wyoming Women Artists to Watch
Five Wyoming women artists have been nominated by Wyoming-based consulting curator Dr. Tammi Hanawalt, one of which has been selected by NMWA to be featured in the national and international exhibition in Washington, D.C.
Nearly half (45.8%) of visual artists in the United States are women; Only 13.7% of living artists represented by galleries in Europe and North America are women.
Uplift Wyoming Women’s Art
The work of our volunteer committee is centered around raising the profile of the nominated artists and uplifting the reputation of Wyoming Women Artists across our beautiful state.
Our aim is that this work will build bridges among the communities in our state. While vastspaces separate us, the arts can bring us together.
