The Connecticut Women Artists organization was founded 87 years ago in 1929 when thirteen women artists exhibited at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford. Since exhibition opportunities were rare for women at that time these women started a society of female artists. One of this country’s oldest continuing art organizations for women, CWA now has over 200 elected members.
CWA will present its 86th Annual Open Juried Exhibition in Converse Art Gallery, August 20 through September 23, 2016. To feature the work of talented women artists in Connecticut and across the country, the exhibition was juried by Min Jung Kim, Director of the New Britain Museum of American Art, New Britain, CT.
