Women's Studio Workshop is
a visual arts organization with specialized studios
in printmaking, hand papermaking, ceramics, letterpress
printing, photography, and book
arts. Artists are invited to work at WSW as
a part of our Fellowship
Program, Artists'
Books Grants, Residencies, Internships,
or to learn new skills in our Summer
Arts Institute and community
workshop series.
WSW is currently conducting a Dialing for Dollars fundraising drive.
Only once before in our 35 year history have we had to actually call
our friends and ask for help. We had a shortfall of $60,000 this
year. While it is a significant sum of money, we have already raised
$44,000 of this deficit that developed because of reduced grant
funding and you guessed it, the state of the economy.
We are looking forward to a new year with the promise of reinstated
funding from some sources, and
increased funding from NEA, but until that time comes we are asking
our friends, old & new, for help. This is a challenging economic
climate for all of us. At the same time we all know that WSW is an
important organization that needs to exist & grow. Please consider
making a donation to help us reach our goal. All of us here at WSW
thank your for your support!
Our mission is to operate and maintain an artists'
workspace that encourages the voice and vision
of individual women artists, to provide professional
opportunities for artists, and to promote programs
designed to stimulate public involvement, awareness,
and support for the visual arts.
We welcome you to browse through our site to learn
more about our programs, explore our Artists'
Books Archive, or view the work of some of
the artists who have worked with us over the
past 30 years.
