ABOUT AWA

The Associated Women in the Arts was founded in 1980 and is a professional art organization comprised of women in Southern Louisiana who specialize in a variety of visual art forms. The Mission Statement of AWA is to advance the causes of women artists by creating opportunities for them to exhibit and discuss their work.  In doing so, the organization will additionally help to broaden the cultural base of the area and assist the cause of art throughout the state.

Women interested in the purposes of the AWA may become General Members by application to the membership committee with a current member as a sponsor.  This committee will present applications to the Executive Board for voting purposes each April and letters of approval or denial will be mailed after that time.  Membership requires the annual payment of dues, attendance to a minimum of four (4) membership meetings within the calendar year and must actively participate on at least one committee per year.  Other membership categories available are Exhibiting Membership, Exhibiting Sustainer Membership and Auxiliary/Supporting Membership.  Please contact a current member for additional information on all categories of membership.
