THE BADASS ART WOMAN AWARD (BAWA)

The Badass Art Woman Award (BAWA) is a recognition of women/femme identified cultural workers in the  art world. This award amplifies the labor of those who cross over multiple roles beyond artists (i.e. curators, gallerists, academics, writers, etc.), who are often overlooked. Of course, there are occasions when women in the art world transcend into the mainstream realm; however, those instances are far too few. This award leans into celebration and joy- it is a ‘badass’ celebration! BAWA is a celebration of women who do phenomenal work within the Contemporary Art world.
