History
AAWA was founded as a small association and study group called Ann Arbor Women Painters in 1951 by Sarah Bull, Elsie Bailey and Doris Porter Mclean. In 1992 the association incorporated to become a 501c3 non-profit organization. In 2002 the name was changed to Ann Arbor Women Artists to more accurately portray its members – artists working in a wide range of media. By 2008, the Ann Arbor Women Artists began accepting men as members.
Today, this non-profit organization, is open to all who are 18 years-old and up with an interest in the arts – professional artists, beginning artists, to those who appreciate and support the arts. We have approximately 300 members from Washtenaw, Livingston, Monroe, Oakland, Wayne and other counties in Michigan.Our Values
