Art Explorers​

​

​​Art Explorers is a new AUW group launching in 2026 for those interested in exploring visual art, museums, and galleries together in community.

As with all AUW-sponsored groups and events, Art Explorers welcomes all who identify as women, gender-fluid, or non-binary.​​​​​​​

We host quarterly local outings, with the possibility of expanding as the group grows. Joining the group is free, and we aim to keep outings free or low-cost whenever possible.

​Our focus is on experiencing and uplifting the work of women, gender-fluid, and non-binary artists, while building connection through shared exploration.

​

Art Explorers is organized by Bette DeMars, Alison Kemlitz, and Sara McMullen. Click the link below be added to our reminder emails about events.
