The Association for Women's Art and Gender Research in Israel was founded in 2015 by art historian Ruth Markus, with founding members Tal Dekel, Dalia Danon, Ruthi Hinsky-Amitai, Orna Noy-Lanir, Mor Presiado and Hagit Shahal – who all serve on the association's board.

Creators from other fields of art, such as music, film and television, photography, theater and more are also accepted as members.

In addition, the association organizes a series of art and gender meetings throughout the year, which are open to the general public.

Another seminar was held on the occasion of International Women's Day at the Social Museum "On the Seam" in Jerusalem.

Another collaboration is with the academic journal, Migdar (Gender), which published a special issue dedicated to art, edited by association chair Tal Dekel.
