History 

Women Painters of Washington was founded in 1930 by a group of six women artists.  These women joined together to overcome the limitations they faced as female artists and  to stimulate artistic growth through fellowship. 

Their goal was to create an organization that would promote individual growth for female  artists while at the same time nurturing a strong fellowship among its members. Women  Painters of Washington has worked diligently to create opportunities for artistic growth and  to encourage creative expression for women 

Women Painters of Washington currently has 200 active members residing throughout the  state. For membership information contact the New Membership Committee.
