In fact, the target of the Association is to supply Women Artists with new power in order to:
- Overcome coactions and prejudices that often accompany every step of their professional careers.
- Put the complexity of female experience in the heart of the cultural debate
- Establish a persistent network of relations that privileges the participation of every artist of whatsoever ethnicity, cultural and artistic areas.
