Women Artists Forward Fund

The Women Artists Forward Fund supports outstanding women visual artists in Dane County with two annual Forward Art Prizes through an independent jurying process. The Fund was founded by artists Brenda Baker and Bird Ross and is generously supported by donors who recognize the importance of sustaining unrestricted giving to women-identifying visual artists in Dane County. Supporting established and emerging women artists is an essential part of a healthy, thriving community.
