Anonymous Was A Woman is an unrestricted grant of $50,000 awarded each year to 15 woman-identifying artists over the age of 40 and at a critical junction in their career. The name of the grant program refers to a line in Virginia Woolf’s "A Room of One’s Own." The award was begun in 1996 in response to the decision of the National Endowment of the Arts to cease support of individual artists.
To date, Anonymous was a Woman has awarded over $8 million to more than 400 artists. Two of the 2025 awards were made possible by Fotene Demoulas, a Boston-based philanthropist who is a collector and patron of women artists, and who values AWAW’s work. Another anonymous donor also contributed funds toward an additional award.

In the fall of 2024, we ran the Anonymous Was A Woman Artist Survey , a first-of-its-kind study that aims to gain a better understanding of women artists’ lives and careers, and the factors contributing to their successes and challenges.
The survey was produced in collaboration with journalists Charlotte Burns and Julia Halperin , arts leader Loring Randolph , and SMU Data Arts ; the resulting report, by Burns, Halperin and SMU, synthesizes the responses of over 1200 artists of all ages.
The findings were made publicly available on April 9, 2025 as part of the Artists Speak: The Anonymous Was A Woman Symposium , a free talks program at New York University organized by Burns, Halperin, Randolph and AWAW, coinciding with the exhibition Anonymous Was a Woman: The First 25 Years at the Grey Art Gallery at New York University .
Started in 2022, the Anonymous Was A Woman Environmental Art Grant provides up to $20,000 for projects led by woman-identifying artists in the United States and U.S. Territories.
