Advancing Women Artists closed its doors on June 30, 2021. Although the organization is no longer operative, the website will remain accessible as a digital archive and a resource for those interested in research, restoration and exhibition of art by women in Florence.

By giving a voice to historic women artists, AWA Advancing Woman Artists rescues and reclaims the ‘hidden half’ of Florence’s art. Women world-wide band together to support art and conservation. Myriad paintings and sculptures by ground-breaking women artists have been overlooked for centuries, and many works are currently in need of restoration.
