“The National League of American Pen Women was organized in 1897 and has its national headquarters in Washington, DC. Its objective is to conduct and promote educational work of professional standard and engage in charitable work in the areas of Art, Letters, and Music.

Prospective members are invited by local branches. When applying for membership proof of professional standards have to be submitted by various means. The Border Branch was founded in 1978, and it is for the first time that eight of its local members are showing their combined art work here in El Paso. Several of the members had been juried into the Pen Women's national shows and also won awards on that level.

The paintings shown are using different media: oil, mixed media, water media, pastels and encaustic. Traditional as well as contemporary work will be displayed."

The public is cordially invited to attend a Reception on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM. Refreshments will be served. Admission is FREE.
