AAWA was founded in 1951 as a volunteer organization and study group, called Ann Arbor Women Painters. The organizers of this group were Sarah Bull, Elsie Bailey and Doris Porter Mclean.

In 2002 the name was changed to Ann Arbor Women Artists to more accurately portray its members - artists working in a variety of media and producing vastly different types of art.

The purpose of the AAWA is to stimulate creative expression and sharing among its members in order to continually raise the quality of the art produced. Run as a volunteer organization, members exhibit their work in several different shows and exhibition spaces throughout the year. The organization also offers workshops and monthly events, including presentations by artists and others in the art field who speak on a wide variety of topics.
