Women & Their Work

Always worth seeing, this community-centered gallery features rotating exhibits of female artists. The gallery often participated in Austin's annual museum day. The building itself is fascinating too, originating as a grocery store in the 1890s. One side of the gallery features several large pages of glass facing across a shallow grass lawn punctuated by an artistic fountain.

Really wonderful art gallery with lovely artwork. Thanks to An for recommending the live artists talk tonight. It was also a pleasure to meet Alejandra Almuelle the artist. Really liked your work and getting insights about here work. Thx

I had a performance in the space 2 weeks ago and it was quite magical!! It was for the Fusebox Festival in Austin and I was dancing with Gesel Mason in her project Yes,And.

Good collections. The beautiful display and cool outside. The steps are very kind and supportive.

Moriah and her partner did a great job leading a tour for my school. The students were able to interact with a few different installations and we really enjoyed the peace and serenity of the garden.

Beautiful Art Gallery that supports Texas Women Artists. Super helpful and courteous staff and always amazing art!

This space was amazing to walk into. I'm grateful for the artists who shared their work here. It was beautiful.

Such a great space for women artists and their work. I always enjoy a visit here. I was happy to find they were open late on a Saturday. I have even been a member in the past. I enjoy supporting organizations with such an important mission. I finally made it to the somewhat new location. Jade Walker’s exhibit unique and interactive with the scavenger hunt. The site specific installation filled the space in a unique way. It lead to a an inviting path through the space. The large amount of natural light brought a welcoming atmosphere to the artwork and room. I look forward to future visits here. This location should be part of your itinerary when visiting Austin. There aren’t many organizations like this in Texas. Don’t miss your opportunity.

One of the "must-see's" in Austin. Stumbled into this quixotic place a couple of years ago and keep coming back. Celebrating women artists and creators the dual museum/store features all women artists (go figure) with many of them local. If you are looking for something unique, creative, different and just downright beautiful, this is where you go. The fact that you can celebrate women while doing so? Icing on the cake. Go now.

This is my favorite gallery in Austin for the following reasons: 1. The curatorships, collaborations, and openings are inspired and well thought out. 2. The gallery celebrates Texas women artists as well as women artists in general, two subjects that have vastly been overlooked for centuries upon centuries by art circles. I've discovered remarkable talents such as Lisa Ludwig and Sarah Lasley through a show called "Sugarcoated" back in May, which, pointing back to point #1, served pink champagne, frosted animal cookies and doughnut holes instead of the stuffy wine and cheese fare more typically associated with a gallery opening. 3. They encourage new talent, giving several opportunities a year to participate in showings alongside relatively established artists. For $40 you can join as a friend of the organization and have four images of your own art included in their online slide registry project. I believe there is a discounted rate for students and educators. 4. The giftshop kicks ass. Can I say ass? Most of it is tangible, practical art made by local artists or women artists elsewhere. Some of it is less than practical, such as the felt orange bird with pink feathers spewing out of the tail I purchased last Saturday. There's a fantastic selection of books on women artists and some really unique jewelry. Why would you buy anything from a department or corporate store again with such quality, and the money going directly back into the hands of the lady that made them?

This is a great art spot with an excellent gift shop. I found this place because I had some time to kill before I headed out of town so I hopped on Yelp and found this lovely spot. The staff is nice and the space is not as small as you would think for an art gallery in downtown Austin. They were in between installations so I didn't get to see much art but the gift shop is a perfect place for Christmas or anytime shopping. If you are into the art scene there is no doubt you will appreciate this spot.

I hate leaving this review, because we'd been encouraged repeatedly to check this place out, and heard so many good things; then we visited, and it was a let-down. It was free, and the gift shop well stocked, which is why its getting two-stars. I don't know of they were between shows, or what the situation was, but the gallery had one exhibit, and nothing else. 0_0 My review may change, should I ever get the time to visit it again.

This quaint gallery showcases women's artwork. It is very small. I'm not kidding. However, the exhibit I saw was awesome!!!! I love that this gallery focuses on women #feminism. The little gift shop was terrific and had some interesting finds. If I prepared myself with more money, I would have found a souvenir. The lady who was working there was very friendly and had answers to all of our questions. The location is perfect. Close to museums and campus. I hope to be able to visit again someday!

I should come here more often. It's somewhat close to my job and it's free admission. You can't beat that. The space is a decent size and I'm glad a place like this exists because there should be more places where women should get their artwork display for the public to see. In my years living in Austin, I'm ashamed to say I wished I visited this place sooner. The artwork they put on display is amazing. It's almost one big room with a small corner for a gift shop and other retail items. Parking is available on the street. The gallery is across the street from the Scottish Rite Theatre and next door to Lavaca Teppan. Women and Their Work is a definite must on your list of art galleries to visit.

one of my favorite galleries about town... has chill vibe and a nice gift shop... exhibitions can be hit or miss like any gallery but hey, it's free... it's nice to have a local gallery supporting women in a great location it's a 501c3 too

I recently went here for a documentary screening. I had never been to this particular gallery before, and I was impressed. It was a really nice space and they had a good set up to watch the film. I'll definitely keep my eye out for their future exhibitions, so I can go check them out as well.

Laudable mission. Fun giftshop. But the show we saw--large format color photos of overweight, topless lesbians--seemed like a parody of 70s female empowerment (see "Sisterhood is Powerful").

Neat little gallery. The exhibits are always fascinating! They also offer free educational programs to groups of kids. I've organized a few of these for homeschoolers and was VERY impressed. They try to get the actual artist to come in and do it if they are available.

The Susi Brister exhibit right now is worth it! I'm wondering why "Fables" and not "Mythologies", though, since fables usually tend to be more lesson-based or moralistic and mythologies tend to be more brutal and amoral. It's not a huge exhibit and you can see it all in 10 minutes but the work is impressive!

Breathtaking exhibit -- I loved going here for many reasons, most of which have to do with how great the art was.

Street parking, museum and gift shop, open from 10-6 m-f and sat 12-5

By far one of my favorite art galleries. A must-see when you come through Austin!

This is one of those places that gives artist space to display their work, but the work they decide to display is not exactly that one that needs displaying. They give space to those artist who already made it instead of those who are struggling to make it. Woman and Their Work do not take risks on artist to help them. They only want to help those who are already at the top of their field. Also, there is no diversity in the work and the artist they pick. The board is monochromatic as it is their work. Not relevant to the culture we live in and the society we are built into. I would suggest to take a second look at what you decide to support.

Great conception and currently (Oct 2013) fantastic exhibition. Love the gift shop too.

women & their work deserves much more recognition than it receives! they've been open and working hard to promote contemporary work by women artists for somewhere over two decades - putting on great programming, connecting with the community, and showing good work.
