A Library of Women Artists

A Feminist Art Bookshelf

ArtTable supports women leaders in the visual arts at all stages of their careers; recognizes and promotes the achievements of outstanding women in the visual arts; increases opportunities for professional women in the visual arts; and enriches the nation’s cultural life.

ArtTable was founded in 1980 by a group of professional women in the visual arts to foster greater support, recognition and opportunities among their peers. As Founding President Lila Harnett explains, “Information was exchanged, and we became a mutually helpful society with a mission to promote the interests of professional women in the arts.” Over the years, the organization steadily expanded from an informal group into a professional network of more than 1,500 women throughout the country with membership centers in Boston, Los Angeles, Houston, New York, San Francisco, Santa Fe, Seattle, and Washington D.C., with growing centers in Chicago, Atlanta, Miami and New Orleans.

ArtTable members live, work and participate throughout the country but its programs are generally planned in cities with a larger number of members. The staff and leadership of the organization are dedicated to planning ArtTable programs in conjunction with major art world events, conferences and fairs. With its 30th Anniversary in 2010-2011, the expanding membership is inclusive of women in all stages of their careers who exemplify leadership in the administration, business, finance, management, promotion, scholarship and stewardship of the visual arts.

ArtTable conducts ongoing outreach programs include: the Summer Mentored Internship for Diversity in the Visual Arts Professions, intended to help young women of diverse backgrounds enter the field of the visual arts; the Career Development Roundtables, developed to mentor students and emerging professionals as they enter the field; the Oral History project, created to document the significant impact and on-going contributions of professional women in the visual arts; and our public programs, intended to provide a forum for discourse about current topics in the arts relevant to both our members and the art world at-large.
