It is our goal, with this show, to focus on women artists of North America. Women’s Works™ provides an opportunity to showcase the creative efforts of women artists. This, the 23rd Anniversary Exhibit of Fine Art by Women – takes place at the Old Court House Arts Center on the Historic Town Square in Woodstock, Illinois. The strength of the show is in you and your participation. We encourage you to submit your work for consideration. Women’s Works has become a much anticipated area event, and the Gala Night Opening Reception sees an excess of 500 people filling the galleries. The show enjoys excellent media coverage and exposure. Along with the Opening Reception, other events are held at The Old Court House Arts Center during the exhibition. As always, running concurrently with this show is the Thirteenth Annual Little Women’s Works featuring (and nurturing) the artistic achievements of young women. Information on that event is available separately. Please visit the naac web site at: http://www.naac4art.org. ELIGIBILITY of ARTISTS AND ARTWORK: Women artists 18 or older may submit any original work, completed in the last two years (from January 2008 through January 2010).
