Welcome to NAWA PA


The National Association of Women Artists, Pennsylvania Chapter is the newest to join the impressive history-making venture of the first women's fine art organization in The United States, the National Association of Women Artists, Inc. (NAWA). Our chapter celebrates membership among an illustrious and incredibly talented group of professional artists with a wide variety of talents. Our organization seeks to extend the benefits of NAWA's national membership to all current, juried-in, Signature NAWA members. 

Our strategic plan includes offering local and statewide events, awards programs, opportunities for partnership, community involvement, juried and non-exhibitions, and we welcome your voice and talent in our chapter activities.

Our chapter meets monthly, and there are opportunities in leadership as well as within committees. NAWA PA members will receive monthly communication updates from the chapter team, and questions can be addressed via email.

Our monthly chapter meetings are a great time to get to know one another. As a member of NAWA PA, you will receive an email with a Zoom link to attend our monthly chapter meetings, which take place on the first Monday at 6:00 PM EST. There are opportunities to serve on our board and on committees that best fit your time and interests. 

Our talent includes an impressive variety of creativity, including Painters, Sculptors, Writers, Photographers, Multimedia Artists, Weavers, Dancers, InterArtists, Fiber Artists, and more.
