Women & Their Work

Bold About Art

Explore the joy and wonder of contemporary art with Women & Their Work. Through virtual guided tours to art making workshops, students will engage with the best contemporary art created by women. Lesson plans and materials are provided.

Women & Their Work believes contemporary art education is a valuable resource that should be made accessible to audiences of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.

Women & Their Work’s exhibitions, programs, and tours are free and open to the public.

Critical essays written by art professionals, video interviews with each artist speaking to the themes and methods behind her work, and art education lesson plans are designed to complement each exhibition.

Women & Their Work invites students from Austin area schools to the gallery for a virtual tour and art-making workshop to explore contemporary art created by women.

Each program is one hour. In the first half hour, students explore the work and themes through video and photos of the exhibition with a trained educator.* When possible, the exhibiting artist leads the tour, illuminating her artistic processes for students and encouraging students to explore their own ideas about the work. After the virtual tour, students experiment with materials and techniques similar to those used by the exhibiting artist, allowing them to better understand the art-making process.

Tours and art materials are free to all students and teachers. Lesson plans can be used by the classroom teacher or can be lead by an art educator from W&TW.
