The Artist Leadership Network for Women (a.k.a. "ALN") was started by the artist Betsy Damon in 1984, under the name of "No Limits for Women in the Arts" - in 2006 the name was changed to our present one.

From the beginning ALN has been a network of women artists of all sorts (including painters, writers, dancers, sculptors, quilters, singers, installation artists, filmmakers - to name only a few) in groups of 6 to 12, meeting regularly to support and encourage one another to become leaders in their own lives and communities.

Over the years literally hundreds of creative women have been helped by ALN to go for their biggest dreams and their largest visions.
