Celebrating Women Artists from the Collection

To celebrate diversity in the Princeton University Art Museum, the Student Advisory Board chose the following works that were created by women artists to highlight and share with the University community. These artists hail from a wide range of time periods and cultural backgrounds and work in diverse mediums. We invite you to explore each artist’s unique artistic practice in-depth by clicking on their work below.

The Student Advisory Board of the Museum is a group of students that aims to foster connections between the Princeton University Art Museum and the undergraduate community. We hope you enjoy this virtual gallery! Follow us on Instagram @puamsab and Facebook to learn more about our upcoming events and initiatives.
