Our members are journalists, painters, choreographers, sculptors, poets, illustrators, songwriters– just to name a few of the creative fields we encompass.
Beginning with 17 charter members, the organization now is comprised of branches throughout the U.S. and over 2500 members. Each branch holds regular meetings and offers workshops, art exhibits, concerts, seminars and outreach programs. NLAPW membership provides the opportunity to network with other arts professionals, enter juried exhibits and contests and participate in professional enrichment programs.

You will join the stream of women dedicated to the Arts, such as Vinnie Ream, Eleanor Roosevelt, Eudora Welty, Margaret Mitchell, Grandma Moses, Pearl S. Buck and many others who have listed this prestigious organization among their professional affiliations.
