NLAPW Webinars
Welcome to PenWomen Online! Since 1897, the uniqueness of our organization is the high caliber of professionalism our members demonstrate across multiple disciplines in Art, Letters and Music. We are not wannabes…we are arts professionals – journalists, painters, novelists, composers, choreographers, sculptors, illustrators, poets, photographers, playwrights, among many other disciplines – who understand the challenges and personal fulfillment that come with the high calling of being an artist. What excites us is sharing what we have learned with a new generation eager to grow in their mastery of the multiple disciplines we represent. Our monthly webinars are 60-minutes in length and cost $20 to attend. Click here for more information.
