We are the home of the Woman's Art Club of Cincinnati, founded in 1892

Our History:

The Woman's Art Club of Cincinnati was founded in 1892 by 19 women artists, and today The Club is more than 250 women strong, the oldest Woman’s Art Club operating without interruption in the United States. A bit of history: In 1992, our centennial year, The Club moved to its first permanent address at the Pendleton Art Center.

In 2006, in order to raise funds to restore the Resthaven Barn in Mariemont as a Cultural Center, The Club created the Woman’s Art Club of Cincinnati Foundation (The Foundation). The Barn currently provides space for art instruction, art exhibits, artists’ studios, meetings and events. The Barn continues to be maintained and operated by The Foundation as a State of Ohio Cultural Facility serving men, women, and children of the Greater Cincinnati Area. Prior to 2022, we received 19,000 individual visits!
