WYNMWA is thrilled to announce that the committee has nominated four women artists to NMWA for Women to Watch 2027. Selected by Wyoming-based consulting curator Beth Venn, of the University of Wyoming’s Neltje Center for Excellence in Creativity and the Arts, each artist in this year’s cohort will be considered for inclusion in the national and international exhibition in Washington, D.C.

The Wyoming Committee for the National Museum of Women in the Arts is excited to announce its participation in Women to Watch 2027: A Book Arts Revolution. The biennial exhibition at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) in Washington D.C will showcase underrepresented and emerging women artists from around the world.

Five artists from across Wyoming converge at Shari Brownfield Fine Art this March as the first stop in a traveling exhibition titled Wyoming Women to Watch.

Contemporary artists from around the globe reimagine past, present and alternate realities

In 2021 Lisa Fleischman launched the Wyoming Committee for the National Museum of Women in the Arts (WYNMWA). Since then, the work of our volunteer committee, with the support of our generous donors, has been uplifting women artists in Wyoming by promoting them across the state and on a national stage through our collaboration with the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Sarah Ortegon, from the Wind River Reservation, was selected to have her work featured in the 2024 NMWA biennial exhibit, a first for a Wyoming woman artist.
