Women Painting includes 87 works by more than 78 women artists of various origins from 25 different nationalities, including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Spain, Norway, Italy, Ireland, Germany, France, Holland, Russia, Egypt, Mexico, Panama, Venezuela and Chile.

This is the third year that the museum has organized an exhibition with the aim of both highlighting the role of women in figurative art—historically dominated by male artists—and encouraging future women artists to develop their artistic careers. The MEAM strengthens its commitment to supporting figurative art by women. Some of the artists exhibiting this year are: Froydis Aarseth, Omalix Arlette, Mary Jane Ansell, Tanya Atanasova, Teresa Brutcher, Kamille Corry, Erica Elan Ciganek, and the Barcelona-born Miriam Escofet, who in 2019 was commissioned to paint a portrait of the Queen Isabel II which was unveiled last year.

The museum organizes activities parallel to the exhibition to highlight the role of giving in the world of art and culture. Forums, webinars, conferences and workshops will be held, always following the restrictions set to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.
