Women of Vision's Anniversary year has been precedent-setting! Our ability and organizational flexibility positioned us to "re-open" several art institutions in the Pittsburgh area. During Covid-19 from 2019-2021, WOV Inc. jump-started Pittsburgh Center for Arts and Media, Contemporary Craft's BNY Satellite Gallery, Kelly-Strayhorn Theater, Touchstone Center for Crafts, and the University Art Gallery with in-person art exhibitions. Undeterred that the trend was to take everything virtual or suspend entirely, WOV resisted the shut-down. The reason for us was simple: There is no better way to experience visual art, arguably ANY of the arts than to witness the genuine article. We posed the question: Can a pandemic stop art? Then answered by offering live exhibitions to the public while encouraging safety through timed tickets, mask advisories, and appeals for hand sanitation. Our collaborators were a critical part of this affirming venture. When this worldwide pandemic passes, and we pray it soon does, WOV will have done its part to keep Pittsburgh arts open for business. 

We thank you for visiting our website and ask that you come out to enjoy and support our exhibitions and events. Join our celebration as America's longest-running African-American Women's collective of visual artists.
