The National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) unveiled handmade scarves from Bangladesh at its renowned Museum Shop just in time for the holidays with a reception celebrating CARE\'s LIVING BLUE, a social enterprise of women artisans, demonstrating how art made by women can lift entire communities and regions out of poverty.

Founded by CARE and co-owned by the artisans, CARE\'s LIVING BLUE has produced scarves and apparel for top French designers and Galeries Lafayette, working with local artisans. The initiative to support the LIVING BLUE artisans at the Museum was spearheaded by Adriana Relagado, manager of the Museum Shop, Melani Douglass, Director, Public Programs, and Alicia Gregory, Manager, Public Programs.
