The Bronxville Women's Club, Inc.

The BWC's monthly activities cover a wide range of interests:  American Home, Garden, Art, Health, Finance, Literature, and more.  Since the building belongs to the BWC, we are able to schedule events to suit our members when they want them:  morning, afternoon, evening, weekends.  Here is a sampling of upcoming activities.

Art Exhibits

The Club invites artists to exhibit their works on a rotating monthly basis.  Opening receptions, usually held the first Sunday of the month, are open to the public.  Contact the club if you are interested in exhibiting your works.

Last chance to see and buy these beautiful works of art will be on Sunday, March 14:  A feast for the eyes and ears when you combine the art exhibit with the Midland Music concert!

"Dynamic and breathtaking artworks in acrylic and celebrated Yonkers artist Miho Goto.  Luscious faces of roses, lilies, tulips and callas exquisite in detail, dazzling in form, and appearing to live and breath in the fragility..."
