53rd National Show Catalog, "No Place Like Home"

WOMEN ARTISTS OF THE WEST WOMEN ARTISTS OF THE WEST (WAOW) is a non-profit organization of over 300 juried members across the United States, Australia, 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. WAOW members are publicly promoted through national advertising, exhibitions, online and social media. It is one of the oldest established organization dedicated to women artists in the nation. We are honored to be celebrating 53 years of exhibitions with this year’s national exhibit at the Carriage Factory in Newton, Kansas. We appreciate the generosity of Mary Lee McDonald and our sponsors for our 53rd National Exhibition. The fine artwork of various genres and mediums in this exhibition has been through a stringent selection process and features 115 artists from 28 states, representing three countries and two continents. Members are initially juried to become a WAOW member and then must submit work to a seven member jury for acceptance into the national exhibition. We are very pleased and proud to present the work of these outstanding, talented members of WAOW in our 53rd National Exhibition, No Place Like Home. The entire exhibition catalog and images of the award-winning paintings in the 53rd National Exhibition are posted on the Women Artists of the West website, waow.org .
