Hello

WELCOME!

The Northern California Women's Caucus for Art (NCWCA) is a networking organization for women in the arts. We offer a broad range of events and programs: member forums, exhibitions, art-making, art activism and community.

A ZOOM CONVERSATION WITH NCWCA ARTIST LAURIE TOBY EDISON

NCWCA is pleased to host Laurie Toby Edison for a conversation about her life as an artist. Laurie and Priscilla will engage in a conversation about her life-long commitment to social justice, her role supporting the San Francisco Women's Building, her extraordinary portraits that have been exhibited and collected in Japan, Europe and the United States, and her perspectives about the business of art.

GET READY FOR LAND ART 2022!

Join us at our September 13 Zoom chapter meeting to learn all about NCWCA's time-honored tradition of making art on the land. We'll be doing Land Art on Saturday, October 15 at Irma Velasquez' property in Sebastopol. To help you get ready for that outdoors event, Irma and several guest speakers will share information on what to expect, what to bring, and show photos of past Land Art projects to give you some ideas of what you might want to make.

For this activity, no prior experience is necessary. Members will receive an Eventbrite invitation by chapter mail and are welcome to invite family and friends who might want to join NCWCA. Find out more about Land Art here.
