POWarts, the Professional Organization for Women in the Arts, a nationally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was founded in 2008 to champion the professional lives of female identifying individuals in the business of the visual arts.

Through an active calendar of educational programming, the collection and distribution of employment, diversity and equality-related data, and industry standardization initiatives, POWarts promotes community, collegiality and collaboration, and strives towards the professional advancement of our members, the creation of healthier workplaces, and a more equitable and diverse arts industry.

Pen + Brush is a 128-year-old publicly supported not-for-profit fighting for gender equity in the arts. P+B provides a platform to showcase the work of women, non-binary and female-identified transgender artists and writers to a broader audience with the ultimate goal of effecting real change within the marketplace. We encourage and mentor emerging professionals and aim to expose the stereotypes and misconceptions that perpetuate gender-based exclusion, lack of recognition and the devaluation of skill that is still experienced by women in the arts. All art work is for sale, 75% of all sales go directly to the artist and 25% comes back in to feed the organization’s work.
