American Women Artists

This is a small sampling of women artists and their works in the vast visual arts collections of the Smithsonian. American women photographers have also made their mark. The Smithsonian tells the stories of women within our museums and beyond our walls, critically examining the past and highlighting art and artists who might have been overlooked historically.
