FORGOTTEN
WOMEN ARTISTS
An initiative of the Cameron Parsons Foundation dedicated to discovering and spotlighting influential women artists whose contributions have largely been obscured and overlooked. AFWA believes that recognizing their artwork and bringing to light their unique stories are essential for understanding 20th century art through these womens eyes.

ARCHIVE HIGHLIGHTS
“The initiative is a natural evolution of the Foundation’s mission, very few women made it into the art world during Cameron’s era, it is no secret that there has been significant disparity in the art world regarding women artists of the 20th century. When you think of successful women artists who does one think of? Generally, only a few names are remembered. Why is it a de Kooning has sold for millions of dollars, yet women of equal talent have not? If AFWA does not seek to identify and consider women artists of the 20th century, who is going to advocate for them?”
