- The Ladies' Art Association was established in New York City in 1867, during a time when women’s arts organizations were becoming prominent in both Europe and the United States. The LAA was the most successful women's art association to appear during this era. Its goal was the "promotion of the interests of Women Artists". The organization's constitution outlined how they would achieve this goal, including discussions of professionalism, lectures and readings relating to the art world, and available studio space for a low price. The LAA, and organizations like it, served to help female artists break into the traditionally male dominated sphere of the art world and gain their own recognition and notoriety. This association offered a variety of resources to its members, including work spaces that were available to rent, professional classes, and a gallery to publish their art. Through this network of predominantly female artists, members were also provided professional connections, as well as financial and social support. Members of the Ladies' Art Association had access to artistic opportunities that were not easily available to nineteenth century women otherwise. These advantages included access to art education, the ability to show and sell their work, and the reception of valuable letters of recommendation when they traveled abroad. The Ladies' Art Association helped its members thrive in the historically male dominated art world through these opportunities, along with the support and encouragement provided by like minded female artists.
