Women Artists of the West is a nonprofit organization of over 300 juried members across the United States and Canada with the objectives of uniting women artists, elevating awareness of art created by women and encouraging technical excellence. WAOW supports members through education, workshops and mentoring, with a focus on encouraging both emerging and established artists in business and professional practices.
The common thread of WAOW artists is the passion for their work and the desire to express the joy and beauty of the world around them. As the oldest women artists organization, WAOW members have collectively made their mark on the art world. Members are initially juried to become a WAOW member and then must submit work to a seven-member blind jury for acceptance into the national exhibition. WAOW presents the work of these outstanding, talented members in their 49th National Exhibition, Mountain Aire. The entire exhibition catalog and images of the award-winning paintings of the exhibition are posted on the Women Artists of the West website.
