Cercle des Femmes Peintres

The Cercle des Femmes Peintres was a society for women artists in Brussels, active during the years 1888–1893. This society was meant to be a local version of the Paris-based Union des Femmes Peintres et Sculpteurs. Eugénie Beauvois, a still-life painter, was named the vice chairman at the start, which was an idea formed by Berthe Art. Most of the ladies who joined had previously been refused a seat at all other official artist societies due to their sex. They organized four exhibitions in 1888, 1890, 1891 and 1893. All members were women amateurs.
