Founded in 2003, the Black Women’s Arts Festival (BWAF) is a Philadelphia based community event which focuses on the visibility and viability of black women artists of all genres and media without regard for: age, gender expression, physical ability, religion, sexual orientation or size.

To create a strong festival presence in Philadelphia and its surrounding regions 2. To increase awareness and visibility of the BWAF and individual black women artists through local and regional marketing campaigns 3. To become a self-sustaining organization which produces a large annual festival and have the necessary resources to maintain our vision, mission, and integrity 4. To inspire all who attend and participate in our yearly festival as well as educate our communities through the arts 5. To develop venues for black women to present and participate in performances, visual arts exhibitions, artisan marketplaces, workshops, and health initiatives |
