Founded in 1978, Center for Women and Their Work in Austin, Texas, is steadfast in its mission to support women artists, a commitment that is as relevant now as it was nearly forty years ago. The organization provides substantial financial and technical resources to visual and performing artists with an emphasis on those in Texas, producing more than fifty events annually. As one of the longest running alternative spaces in the region, Women and Their Work plays a critical role in bringing attention to local artists, while fostering exchange and collaborations with international artists and institutions. In addition to group exhibitions, public programming, and educational efforts, the organization offers six artists per year the opportunity to create new work through its New Commissioning Project.

“The terrific range of project proposals we receive each year speaks to the mobile and porous disciplinary boundaries of contemporary art practice, and to the rich and inventive ways writers approach art today. They are alert to the urgent need to expand the conventions of art history and criticism with ideas from other discourses, such as black studies, transnational and diaspora studies, gender and women’s studies, and LGBT studies. The work of lesser known and overlooked artists and art communities continues to be mined, with writers articulating new ways to counter the striking imbalances of race, class and gender that continue to affect the arts and the culture industry.”
