Join us at Giant Jones Brewing Co. for a reception celebrating the work on over fifty local women artists!

We will announce the 2025 Forward Art Prize recipients at 5:30pm. Most of the exhibited artwork is available for purchase, with every dollar going directly back to the artists.

About WAFF:

The mission of the Women Artists Forward Fund is to address gender disparity issues that exist for women artists, by providing them with financial resources to strengthen their work, along with recognition and community support to leverage their creative capital.

The Forward Art Prize offers two annual, unrestricted $10,000 awards for women visual artists living in Dane County, WI who show exceptional creativity in their work and compelling prospects for the future. Selections are made through an open, juried, competitive application process each summer.
