Vision:  Awaken and Nurture the Artist in Every Texas child.

Texas Women for the Arts is a giving program uniting the financial force of Texas women in funding initiatives for the arts and arts education throughout the state.  Texas Women have the capability of making a tremendous impact on the arts in Texas for our youth and our heritage.  The intent of this essential giving circle is to create a restricted fund to be used for arts and arts education programs administered by the Texas Commission on the Arts, the Texas Cultural Trust and other qualifying agencies.  Each year, the Texas Women for the Arts will have the opportunity to choose which programs their dollars will support.

• Texas Women for the Arts will be invited to a special event annually in May, during which potential funding opportunities will be presented and voted upon.  One Member, One Vote 
• Name Recognition as a member of Texas Women for the Arts in the Texas Medal of Arts Awards Ceremony Program.  The Texas Medal of Arts Awards is held biennially.
• Name Recognition as a Texas Women for the Arts member on the Cultural Trust website
