American University Museum is proud to serve as the central venue for this groundbreaking survey exhibition taking place across sixteen locations throughout the Greater Washington, DC region. The show brings together leading and emerging voices across all genres of the fine arts.

With more than 60 works of art on display at AU Museum, and more than 400 artists included in all 16 locations, this unprecedented initiative is now “the largest curated survey of contemporary living women artists in the nation and the first survey of female visual artists working across the DMV,” according to curator Lenny Campello.

Presented by AU Museum’s Alper Initiative for Washington Art, the timing of Women Artists of the DMV coincides with American University’s biennial Feminist Art History Conference.

Discover the breadth, diversity, and creative “superpowers” of women artists working today in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia with Women Artists of the DMV.

This event will be held in-person at the museum.
