54th WAOW National Exhibition, "Dreamweavers"

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 54 years of exhibitions with this year’s national exhibit at the Phippen Museum in Prescott, Arizona. We appreciate the generosity of the Phippen and our sponsors for our 54th National Exhibition. The fine artwork of various genres and mediums in this exhibition has been through a stringent selection process and features 90 artists from the Unites States, Canada and Australia. 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 54th National Exhibition, Dreamweavers. The entire exhibition catalog and images of the award-winning paintings in the 54th National Exhibition are posted on the Women Artists of the West website, waow.org .
