The National museum of women in the arts
In 2016, it was the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. (USA) who asked their audience, “can you name 5 women artists?” This question — and the fact that most people could not answer it — was one of the primary inspirations for starting Women’s Art Wednesday. Women’s Art Wednesday partnered with the NMWA in March 2020 to participate in the official #Name5WomenArtists campaign, and conducted a feature series highlighting a different woman artist or art historian, in her own words, every day in the month of March. You can see these features and read about what these women had to say about their work, on our website and social media pages. Also, keep an eye on the NMWA Instagram page in the coming weeks… Women’s Art Wednesday will be hosting an Instagram Takeover on the NMWA Instagram page in July.
Afi’s jewelry
In 2019 Women’s Art Wednesday representatives partnered with a jeweler, Afi, recently relocated to the United States from Benin. WAW members helped Afi establish her business, launch e-commerce platforms, and participate in local art sales to kick-off her business as a handmade jewelry maker. These GORGEOUS pieces can be found on her social media pages @afisjewelry, and on Etsy at Afi’s Jewelry.

Stay tuned for collaborations with Art Haus Ceramics and Danyelle, and check them out on social media and Etsy for commissions… they really can work magic! @arthausceramics.
