The Oregon Alliance supports the National Museum’s mission to educate members and the broader public about art and to promote the work of emerging Northwest women artists for inclusion in the NMWA's regular "Women to Watch" exhibitions. As the NWMA strives to bring greater recognition to the many accomplishments of female artists from all over the world and from various historical periods, the Oregon Alliance extends these goals to the Pacific Northwest with particular emphasis on contemporary women artists and regional audiences.
