The Legendary Women Artists of Venice Award was established in 2018 in honor of Women’s History Month. The awards recognize the contribution of women to the arts and their profound impact on society. The Venice Art Crawl and Venice Chamber of Commerce present the awards.

The Legendary Women Artists of Venice and Emerging Artist Awards are presented to female artists whose life and work exemplify the Venice Art Crawl’s mission of creating community through art, education, and social activism.

Awardees highlight the benefits of unique expression, collaborative initiatives, and creative workspaces. These amazing women uphold the legacy of feminist art history and theory across multiple art disciplines and meet the criteria of considerable accomplishment and contribution to the arts in the Venice community.
