Mission & Vision

“To encourage, recognize, and promote the production of creative work of professional standard in Art, Letters, and Music.”

Founded in 1897, the National League of American Pen Women is the oldest women’s arts organization in America. The League, recognized for its support and creation of art, music, and letters, is comprised of professional women artists, writers, poets, composers, and arrangers. The mission of the League, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, is carried out through outreach activities that provide educational, creative, and professional support to members and non-members in these disciplines. The core values of the NLAPW are respect, knowledge, creation, and preservation of the arts.
