Join us in El Paso to celebrate 20 years of Texas Women for the Arts! Since 2005, TWA members have granted over $4 million to organizations across the state, enhancing access to the arts for communities, including vital programs for children. Your support has helped foster creativity and artistic expression in young minds, ensuring the next generation can experience the power of the arts. This celebration is a chance to honor our impact and continue championing the arts for all.

ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING
During the two nights and three days, members will experience the vibrant fusion of culture, history, and the arts that El Paso has to offer. We will visit and tour a variety of arts locations, including two NEW sites designed by Texas Medal of Arts honorees, showcasing remarkable design to downtown El Paso. The chair and host committee are curating an incredible itinerary featuring captivating performances and a special lunch crafted by an El Paso Michelin-starred chef. You don’t want to miss out!
