Celebrating Women Artists from the Collections

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. Though the new Museum building is still under construction, we are proud to present this virtual gallery to offer a view into some of the varied, stunning works in the collection that were created by women. 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.
