Women’s Art Initiative at the AGO
A community of women supporting women artists
Women artists have been under-represented in the collections, exhibitions and scholarship of museums and scholars throughout history. The AGO is committed to leading the way in redressing this historical imbalance, with an ultimate goal of moving our collection toward parity.
In 2017, the AGO launched Women’s Art Initiative (WAI) in support of this important objective. WAI is a dynamic group of women invested in building community and bringing attention to women artists through exhibition support, collection-building, research and publications. Each year, WAI is recognized for supporting a major exhibition featuring women artists.
Participation in WAI is a philanthropic commitment of $15,000, which is payable over three years ($5,000/year).
