AAUW Utah Women Artists Exhibit: Celebrating Women Bold and Beautiful
The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is the nation's leading voice promoting equity and education for women and girls. Since their founding in 1881, AAUW members have examined and taken positions on the fundamental issues of the day - educational, social, economic, and political. AAUW has continually worked hard for fair pay and recognition for women. Providing the venue for Utah women to display their art and be rewarded and honored for their artistic skills and hard work is a part of that effort.
