The NMWA Honors 50 Years of the Women’s Studio Workshop

The National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) is honoring the 50th anniversary of the Women’s Studio Workshop (WSW) in Kingston, NY, with an exhibition titled "A Radical Alteration: Women’s Studio Workshop as a Sustainable Model for Art Making." Curated by Maymanah Farhat, the show runs through September and features over 40 objects—including artists’ books, zines, ephemera, and archival materials—dating from 1974 to 2024. The exhibition highlights WSW’s history as a feminist arts organization that supports women, trans, intersex, nonbinary, and genderfluid artists, with a focus on book arts and marginalized communities.
