ARTsisters History

 

In 2005 Linda Dubin Garfield realized that her long-time friend and fellow artist Leslie DeBrocky functioned as more than a friend when it came to art—she was really an ARTsister, one who knew the process and understood the challenges of a professional artist. Together they created ARTsisters.

 

Mission Statement

ARTsisters is a group of professional artists who empower each other and the community through art. 

 

It is our belief that the collective energy generated, motivated and inspired by professional women artists creates synergy.  We share our creative spirit to benefit the community through exhibitions, special projects, workshops and art donations.
