About Women's Caucus for Art
Northern California Chapter
The Northern California Chapter of the WCA has well over a hundred members.
It is an active chapter, advocating for the exhibition of women's art
work and bringing women artists together in community.
One example is
this website: any member who wishes to have her work seen in an on-line
portfolio may do so via this route. We alert curators, directors, gallery
owners, buyers and appreciators of art to the work of our members via
this site by e-mail
notices and by search engines. In addition to this virtual representation
of artwork, we have slide carousels, CD's, and notebooks of resumes and articles
from members which we show on request.
The NCWCA has monthly meetings, salons at member's studios, and
a quarterly newsletter. We make every effort to have our members' work
shown in exhibition. Support us! Join us! You'll have the opportunity
to make new friends, "network," learn new things, and put your
energies toward positive "woman/women" art!
WE ARE COMMITTED TO THIS IDEA
Feminism is a powerful moving force encircling our world. It is experiencing
growth throughout all cultures, in both the personal and the professional
realms, it thrives on spiritual planes and resides in powerful places.
Celebrate the breadth of women's experiences. OUR MISSION
We are committed:
TO EDUCATE the general public about the contributions
to the arts of women, people of color, and people with disabilities,
respecting differences
in age, religion, class, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.
TO DEVELOP AND TEACH ART CURRICULA at all educational levels
that is not sexist, racist, heterosexist, or anti-Semitic.
TO ENSURE THE INCLUSION OF CONTRIBUTIONS of women and people
of color and the discussion of gender based issues in the
history of art.
TO EXPAND cultural dialogues to encompass all forms of
creative expression.
TO PROMOTE a viable system that provides an opportunity
for realistic economic survival in the arts, including
financial
parity and
equal access to grants, funding and employment for
women, people of color,
