The Women's Art Register invites women artists to submit slides and documentation of their work for inclusion in the Register (painting, sculpture, photographs, embroidery, prints, ceramics, pottery, mixed media, or any visual or domestic art). The Register was established in 1975 and is an incorporated body administered by a voluntary committee.
