Women’s Works™
is a juried fine art exhibit presented
annually by the Northwest Area Arts Council (naac).
The show,
which coincides with Women’s History Month, has become a
much anticipated event in northern Illinois.
It
is our goal to focus on women artists of North America.
We provide an opportunity which showcases the creative
efforts of women artists.
21st Anniversary Exhibit of
Fine Art by Women – Exhibition 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. 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, numerous
other events are held at The Old Court House Arts Center
during the exhibition. Concurrent with this, our Twenty
First Anniversary Women’s Works is the Twelfth 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 www.naac4art.org.
