Etching was in the living room, papermaking was in the attic, and screen printing was in the basement. The first studios(1974-1979) were in a two-story single-family home at the corner of James and John Streets in Rosendale, the site of small community-based printmaking and photography classes. They envisioned a society where women’s art was integral to the cultural mainstream and permanently recorded in history. Programs were centered on the artistic process. Their goals were to develop a studio workspace for artists to create new work and collaborate. Women’s Studio Workshop (WSW) was founded in 1974 by Ann Kalmbach, Tatana Kellner, Anita Wetzel, and Barbara Leoff Burge. This careful exploration of programming and ephemera has led to a deepened understanding of WSW’s history and cultural contributions, documented here in this detailed historical timeline of the organization’s first 20 years. In preparation for WSW’s 50th anniversary, Artistic Director Erin Zona partnered with author, artist, and curator Faythe Levine to examine Women’s Studio Workshop’s Archive and Special Collections.
