Supporting and promoting New Mexico women artists

Righting The Balance

For centuries, women artists were limited in the subjects they could render and the ways they could market art to patrons. Gender bias is less overt today, but women artists still face obstacles and disparities. The National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA), established in 1981, was the first museum in the world solely dedicated to championing women artists.

The New Mexico State Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts was established in 1997 to support both the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC, and NM women-identifying artists by connecting all aspects of the art ecosphere through Community, Education, and Promotion.

We engage these artists and allies — from Cordova, Galisteo, Nambé, Cerrillos, Albuquerque, La Puebla, Taos, Peñasco, Las Vegas, Santa Fe, and beyond — with respect, inclusion, support, collaboration, and creativity.

For art lovers and champions, the Artist Registry is an opportunity to discover and get to know hundreds of women-identifying artists around the state.

If you’re a woman-identifying artist, we invite you to join us and add your artwork to the Artist Registry. Here’s how.
