Contemporary Western American art has been a very popular and lucrative part of the art marketplace. But unlike some artists who have begun to paint Western subjects precisely because there is a ready market for them, the members who make up the Women Artists of the American West (WAOAW)paint the West because it has always been the primary subject matter for them. For the most part, these women have lived in the American West since birth, and their art is natural outgrowth of the habitat and habits of their daily lives.
The WAOAW was launched in 1971 by artists Gloria Bilotta and Mollie Graham. This organization brought Western artists together in the hope of making more of an impact of the art community than any of them could individually and to promote Western art by women.
In the more than 10 years of the organization’s existence, the work of WAOAW has be- come recognized as preeminent by collectors and critics of Western American art. Just what type of subject matter does this art genre include? The scenic landscapes and sprawling vistas of the West are, of course, popular subjects but tile most recognizable are those landscapes and portraits featuring mountain men, cowboys, and various American Indian tribes. However, WAOAW artists believe that the subject matter for Western art should not be confined to these narrow limitations. It should contain all aspects of ranch and pioneer life, including the large role played by women Western art should also depict Western wildlife and authentic Western artifacts as portrayed by Lisa Danielle Lorimer, Esther Marie Vetsch, Mary Thomson, and other members.
The artists who make up WAOAW, currently about thirty-five members have another character in common apart from their painting genre and that is the high quality of their art. When the group was originally formed, requirements for membership were not stringent and involved willingness to participate and a membership fee. But as the group grew in prestige, it became necessary to tighten membership requirements considerably in 6rder to justify the many hours and thousands of dollars spent by the group to promote the work of its members.
It can be concluded from the passage about WAOAW that______.

A、men are eligible for membership
