Mission The National Museum of Women in the Arts brings recognition to the achievements of women artists of all periods and nationalities by exhibiting, preserving, acquiring, and researching art by women and by teaching the public about their accomplishments.

Exhibitions American People, Black Light: Faith Ringgold’s Paintings of the 1960s June 21–November 10, 2013 Faith Ringgold (b. 1930) created bold, provocative paintings in direct response to the Civil Rights and feminist movements. Her unprecedented exploration of race and gender in America was examined in this survey of 49 rarely-exhibited paintings. Works on view from Ringgold’s “American People” and “Black Light” series depict interracial tension, often incorporate mask-like faces or geometric color fields that reflect her interest in African art and design, and demonstrate her profound engagement with current events.

“They are paintings of a nation convulsing from civil rights and feminist ideals. They are the faces and bodies of people going through massive social change. . . . It is a message that has come back around, though it’s taken decades.”—Washington Post

Awake in the Dream World: The Art of Audrey Niffenegger June 21–November 10, 2013 A fantastic, strange, and mysterious world, real and imagined, was featured in this mid-career retrospective of artist and bestselling author Audrey Niffenegger (b. 1963). Paintings, drawings, prints, and book art—239 pieces in total—demonstrated her captivating narrative talent and her explorations of life, mortality, and magic. Her narratives give insight into universal experiences such as the need for love, the inevitability of death, and the peculiar sensation of the passage of time.

“Seeing several short books by Niffenegger unfold over the course of an exhibition is as mesmerizing as the work is goosebump-raising—a curatorial feat to balance an artistic vision.”

—Washington City Paper

Over time, quilts have been revered as nostalgic emblems of the past, hailed as examples of American ingenuity, and dismissed as women’s work. This exhibition of 35 18th–20th-century quilts from the Brooklyn Museum’s decorative arts collection emphasized the intriguing and ever-changing interpretation of quilts.

“This is the best. There’s a story in every thread and fiber. Thank you for displaying these in a way we can see the handwork, threads, and stitches up close. They glow with delight and bring the lives of their makers right back to us today.”—NMWA visitor

Judy Chicago: Circa ’75 January 17–April 13, 2014 In honor of pioneering feminist artist Judy Chicago’s 75th birthday, this exhibition examined 13 of her artworks that paralleled and influenced the U.S. feminist movement of the 1970s. During this decade, Chicago developed vivid, abstract “central core” imagery, seeking to create a new abstract visual vocabulary that encapsulated a woman’s point of view.

During a talk at the museum, Chicago was presented with birthday cards from members and discussed her new book, Institutional Time. She reflected on the importance of showing art by women, past and present:

Meret Oppenheim: Tender Friendships April 26–September 14, 2014 Surrealist artist Meret Oppenheim (1913–1985) created sculpture, paintings, and drawings that explore subjects of sensuality and desire, friendship and love, nature and culture, and reality and imagination. Many exhibited works were part of a donation to NMWA made by Vassar College art librarian Thomas Hill in honor of his friendship with late librarian of the Walker Art Center Rosemary Furtak.

Bice Lazzari: Signature Line May 10–September 22, 2013 This exhibition presented a selection of 25 paintings and drawings from the Archivio Bice Lazzari in Rome.

Using pencil, ink, and pastel, Lazzari (1900–1981) drew lines (often over washes of soft color) to form poetic compositions that resemble graphs, maps, and—representative of her lifelong passion for music—musical staffs and notes, creating rhythms that interact and make her works come alive.

October 4, 2013–January 5, 2014 Featuring prints, drawings, and original printing plates by Hale (1855–1940) from NMWA’s collection, Wanderer demonstrated the artist’s passion for travel and her mastery of printmaking. From 1885 through 1929, Hale took multiple trips throughout the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East. She embraced the spontaneity and intimate scale of printmaking, recording crumbling ruins, scenic land- and cityscapes, and local people at work.

Education Art, Books, and Creativity Teacher Institute and our new Advanced Teacher Institute July 15–19, 2013 Nineteen area educators attended NMWA’s fourth annual Art, Books, and Creativity (ABC) Teacher Institute. Participants learned about the ABC curriculum, which integrates the visual arts and language arts and is inspired by the museum’s collection of artists’ books.

Concurrently, the first Advanced Teacher Institute was a great success. Its seminar format encouraged peer-to-peer learning and personal attention from instructors.

The ABC curriculum and resources are available free at www.artbookscreativity.org.

“The course was hands-on, interactive, and full of activities that I will actually use with my students.”

—ABC Teacher Institute participant “I found myself making deeper connections with ways to integrate art with a variety of subject areas covered by STEM [science, technology, engineering, and math].”

Collection Growth In addition to books, magazines, catalogues, and other research materials, the library collects and preserves primary-source research materials in its Archives of Women Artists. These artist files, manuscripts, and digital archives serve curators, scholars, and students researching women’s contributions to the arts.

Leadership & Visibility Charity Navigator 4-Star Rating NMWA once again received Charity Navigator’s highest rating, reflecting high standards for financial health and accountability and transparency.

 A Founder’s Impact In April 2014, the Washington Post profiled NMWA Founder Wilhelmina Cole Holladay. Lonnae O’NealParker’s piece focused on Holladay’s vision in building a collection of work by women artists, her passion for the museum as it has grown, and the endowment and other measures to ensure its future.

“[NMWA] is a Washington institution and Holladay’s goal is no longer legitimacy.

That fight was fierce, and she won it long ago. Now she is looking to legacy.”

—Washington Post

Washington Women Arts Leaders In March 2014, NMWA Director Susan Fisher Sterling was featured in an article about 13 women in the D.C. area leading cultural organizations. Sterling was interviewed alongside other women museum directors, and a photo shoot hosted by NMWA underscored the importance of the museum’s mission.

Advocacy & Outreach Committee Outreach National & International Committees Through exhibitions, educational programs, and events, NMWA’s outreach committees celebrate women artists alongside the museum. Today, the museum is proud to have 18 committees with more than 2,000 members in Europe, South America, and the United States.

Committees extend the museum’s visibility and connect with new constituencies. They work with NMWA on museum programming such as the cornerstone “Women to Watch” exhibition series. In their regions, they organize events that forge new connections and raise the profiles of local women artists.

By arranging programs such as the New Mexico State Committee’s studio tours of local artists, the Massachusetts State Committee’s conversation with women collectors, the Mississippi State Committee’s annual Honored Artist Luncheon, committee members introduce an ever-wider circle of the art world to the museum’s mission.

NMWA Membership Numbering more than 15,000 worldwide, NMWA’s members make museum programming possible! Their support is vital to the museum’s exhibitions, education, and outreach work.

Online Outreach Wikipedia Edit-a-thons In February 2014, NMWA was one of 31 venues in six countries participating in an Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, a global initiative dedicated to creating a more gender-balanced Wikipedia.

The group’s goals are to create and improve entries related to notable women artists and art-world figures, and to encourage women to become Wikipedia editors.

“Wikipedia is often the first stop for people doing any research on the web, so it’s extremely important to have good articles written with reliable materials from our museum’s library,” —Heather Slania, Director of NMWA’s Library and Research Center Google Art Project

On March 8, 2014, NMWA celebrated International Women’s Day by announcing the launch of collection highlights and a virtual museum tour on the Google Art Project. This website presents high-resolution art images to web users, who are able to zoom in on tiny details, replicating and going beyond the feeling of in-person close looking. The collaboration between NMWA and the Google Cultural Institute is ideal for those who are unable to come to the museum or simply want time to look carefully and learn more.

Digital Engagement | Message NMWA.org Building on the success of a recent website redesign, NMWA continues to increase online engagement. There has been a 3% increase in new visitors, 8% increase in total visits, 12% increase in unique visitors, 18% increase in pages per visit, and 28% increase in overall page-views.

“Workt by Hand”: Hidden Labor and Historical Quilts December 20, 2013–April 27, 2014

O

ver time, quilts have been revered as nostalgic emblems of the past, dismissed as women’s work and hailed as examples of American ingenuity. This exhibition breaks new ground by examining these categorizations through the lens of contemporary feminist theory. In an innovative display of eighteenth–twentieth-century quilts, “Workt by Hand” showcases thirty-five works from the Brooklyn Museum’s renowned decorative arts collection. Revealing the shifting cultural status of this medium, the exhibition explores issues specific to quilting practices, such as anonymity versus authorship and the conventional view of quilts as craft rather than fine art.

Spanning two centuries, “Workt by Hand” features examples of iconic quilting designs and techniques, including the “Log Cabin” style, “Double Wedding Band” designs, Amish “Sunshine and Shadow” style, album quilts and “crazy quilts.” Within thematic sections, the exhibition emphasizes the intriguing and ever-changing interpretation of quilts while presenting them as intricate, vibrant, and stunning pieces of artwork.

“Workt by Hand”: Hidden Labor and Historical Quilts is organized by the Brooklyn Museum.
