Some of you may have noticed that we are no longer going to be on Pierpont Ave anymore. It is a huge change and we are sad and excited at the same time. We will be closed over the holidays and reopen early next year in our new home. Keep checking the website for updates, class info, and our new location!
We are grateful for all the support we have received over the years and are excited for this new phase of the Women’s Art Center.
See you next year!

Vision
To be a center helping our community in the best way we know how; artistically. To be a place where women and artists are inspired to take the risks to make their creative dreams real.
Mission
• To improve our community through outreach programs, classes, and artistic endeavors.
• To make a space for established artists to take creative risks and push themselves to new places in their artmaking.
• To inspire and launch emerging artists by providing classes, networking opportunities, challenges, resources, and gallery space to support them in their creative work.

3) a statement and description of the proposed exhibition (Please consider the philosophy of the gallery as you develop this section.)
4) a brief resume that outlines your education, exhibition history, awards, and any other relevant information.

Exhibition Selection
A panel review committee will meets regularly to select exhibitions for available slots in the gallery schedule. Quality of work, evidence of ability to produce proposed exhibit, balance of mediums submitted for the season, and completion and clarity of the proposal will all be considered. Notification will be made one month after proposal is received.
Sales
The Women’s Art Center’s commission is 40% on all works that are sold. Artists are encouraged to have a variety of smaller pieces—including flat files, prints, etc— to sell with their larger work. The commissions are used to help cover the costs of gallery programming and running the center. Work does not have to be for sale.
Questions?
Please email info@womenartcenter.org with any questions or concerns as you develop your exhibit proposal. Thank you for your interest in The Women’s Art Center.
