Commemorative Art
as tribute to the contributions of USAFA women
01
Be Part of History – Share Your Art!
In 2026, we’re celebrating 50 years since women joined the U.S. Air Force Academy with a special art show—and we’d love to include your work.
​
All artists are welcome—whether you're experienced, a hobbyist, or creating for the first time. Submit artwork in any medium that honors the spirit and legacy of USAFA Women.
​
Selected works will be featured in a digital gallery on this website and in an exhibit at the Academy from April to October 2026, including during the anniversary celebration.

Court of Inspiration
The proposed Court of Inspiration aims to celebrate the achievements of USAFA Women and inspire future generations, recognizing that our successes rest on the shoulders of those who paved the way before us.
The garden has three concentric circles:
​
1. Statue in Center – features a female cadet on graduation day giving her hat to a young girl.
​
2. Circle of Firsts – a series of panels identifying “firsts” for USAFA Women featuring quotes with advice each honoree would give to their younger self or any aspiring young person.
​
3. Wall of Excellence in Service. Wall with plaques commemorating subsequent USAFA women’s achievements, not just firsts.
The Court of Inspiration is a proposal from the USAFA Women pending coordination and approval by USAFA.
