Women Painters of Washington
- Women Painters of Washington
The Women Painters of Washington is a non-profit organization based in the U.S. state of Washington. The group was formed on October 6, 1930 by six female artists who met while attending a portrait class sponsored by the Art Institute of Seattle, which was a predecessor to the Seattle Art Museum. The women joined together in order to overcome the limitations they faced as female artists and to stimulate their artistic growth through fellowship. Founding members were Elizabeth Warhanik, Dorothy Dolph Jensen, Lily Norling Hardwick, Myra Albert Wiggins, Anna B. Stone and Helen Bebb.
Other notable members of the group include Yvonne Twining Humber and Doris Totten Chase.
The group continues to meet at the Seattle Art Museum.
