According to the National Association of Women Artists, size holds no monopoly on value; instead, the essence and intricacy of a creation genuinely determine its worth. In art, a meticulously crafted piece, regardless of its dimensions, can resonate deeply, capturing the imagination with its thoughtfulness and creativity.

ABOUT NAWA
The National Association of Women Artists (NAWA), founded in 1889, is the first women's professional art organization in the United States. Established by five pioneering women, NAWA emerged as a vital alternative to the male-dominated art world that barred women from life drawing classes, governing positions, and exhibition opportunities. By providing a supportive network and exhibition platforms, NAWA challenged these barriers, paving the way for greater inclusion of women artists.
Today, despite a century of progress, women artists remain underrepresented in galleries, museums, and art historical discourse. NAWA continues its founding mission, recognizing that the fight for equal representation in the arts remains as crucial as ever. NAWA actively advances the visual arts through year-round exhibitions, cultural events, educational programs, and competitive scholarships and awards. The organization's historical and ongoing significance is recognized through its catalogs’ archival presence in over 10 prestigious institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and The Library of Congress. The Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University also maintains a permanent collection of NAWA art, underlining the organization's lasting impact on American art history.
