FEM-minis
A JURIED NCWCA MEMBER SHOW
SUBMISSION DEADLINE JANUARY 31, 2026
FEM-minis is an NCWCA member exhibition centered on the expansive concept of FEM. Ideas around feminist, feminine, fem-presenting, fem-forward. The theme embraces any subject associated with women or female presenting persons; the female figure, femininity, feminism, children, dismantling the patriarchy, the lived experience of female-identifying persons, suffrage, reproductive rights, the struggle against or within the bonds of gender roles imposed by societies. It is also about claiming the space to simply be who you are, to express that joy and celebrate identity. FEM-minis invites works across media that reflect the complexity, resilience, and vibrancy of FEM in all its forms.
