Pen + Brush
Pen + Brush is a 132-year-old nonprofit organization dedicated to creating equitable opportunities for women and gender-expansive visual and literary artists. Since 1894, Pen + Brush has been a vital space maker for the arts in New York City while actively working to dismantle exclusionary systems within the art world. Over the past decade, Pen + Brush has revitalized its mission through bold, strategic programming designed to incubate and elevate underrepresented artists. Deeply ingrained in the creative community it serves and informed by contemporary artistic practice, Pen + Brush offers far more than a high-quality exhibition platform—it provides the mentorship, resources, and holistic support artists need to thrive. By meeting artists where they are and championing their advancement, Pen + Brush helps build pathways to sustainable, long-term careers in a professional landscape that too often remains out of reach.
