Women Painting Women (WPW) started off as a blog and turned into a movement that features contemporary women artists painting the female form. The group's name came from the goal of the group, which was to showcase works of women by contemporary women artists.
Starting as a blog in 2009, they were recognized in 2010 by the Robert Lange Studios Gallery, where they held their first exhibition in Charleston, SC. After their beginnings as a blog, the group then went on to hold another 16 exhibitions, three of which were held overseas - two in Australia, and one in the UK. [1] In 2013, they held their first UK exhibition, and in 2016 they held their first exhibition in Australia.
The goal of the exhibitions, as stated by Alia El-Bermani on a blog post with details on WPW: (R)evolution and Call, "is to expand the collective sense of what a woman is and means in the realm of art". [2]
The group has a Facebook page also titled "Women Painting Women", where they share posts and articles relevant to women in the art field, as well as their own videos and photographs of their exhibitions. It has links to each of the founders' respective blogs. A subset of the group, 'Women Drawing Women', is an online exhibition that posts artworks of women by women. It was started in 2010, and since then has come to include a total of 36 artworks as of 2019.
The group was first started by Alia El-Bermani, Diane Feissel and Sadie Valeri who saw that there was a lack of recognition for contemporary women artists after participating in online discussions where they discovered that there were no resources that catalogued these artists who had women as their subjects. [3] This led to the starting of the blog "Women Painting Women", where they posted artworks of women done by women artists as well as information about current or upcoming exhibitions. [3]
The blog started as a way to gain recognition for contemporary women artists, who the founding members realised where underappreciated. It contains posts about artworks of women painted by women artists, and also includes information about exhibitions. There are also posts celebrating the achievements of artists who are involved in the Women Painting Women group, as well as links to external articles written on the group and their exhibitions by media outlets.
There are also links to both the websites of the galleries that are hosting the exhibitions and the order link for catalogues of some of the exhibitions. These include the 2017 "Women Painting Women: In Earnest", 2013 "WPW: (R)evolution", 2013 "WPW: (R)evolution An International Juried Exhibition", and 2012 "The Expedition and Beyond". [1] As of 29/4/19, the blog has 1340 followers. [1]
The artists who are involved in exhibitions are globally based, [4] and although there are some artists who participate in more than one exhibition, the artists in each exhibition vary.
