Pen and Brush Club (also known as Pen + Brush) is an international organization of professional women, writers and artists.[1] Organized in 1897, the women formed themselves into a club of which the object was to be recreation and the promotion of social dialogue. An occasional afternoon "Shop Talk", for members only, affords opportunity for free helpful discussion of professional matters, and a tea is given on Tuesday of each week, to which members may invite their friends informally, while on the first Sunday of every month from October to May, a reception is held in honor of some guest of literary or artistic note. The original location was at 26 West Twenty-second Street, New York City. [2]
The Pen and Brush Club operates as a publicly supported not-for-profit organization.[3]
