ABOUT NCWCA (Northern California Women's Caucus for Art) 
Founded in 1972, Women's Caucus for Art is an affiliate society of the College Art Association and founding partner of the Feminist Art Project. The Northern California Women's Caucus is one of its earliest chapters, formed in the same year as national WCA. It is one of five California chapters and serves members in San Francisco, East Bay, Marin and all parts of Northern California. NCWCA advocates for exhibition opportunities for women with the mission of creating community through art, education and social activism. The website is www.ncwca.org 

ABOUT THE CURATORIAL GRANT FOR YOUNG WOMEN'S ART COLLECTIVE 
This is the inaugural year for this curatorial grant. NCWCA is deeply grateful to the Ahlborn Charitable Family Trust for helping to make the grant possible for young women artists. We created this grant to support the Ahlborn Trust's objectives as well as NCWCA's mission to provide women with professional development, networking and exhibition opportunities. 

ABOUT ARC GALLERY

Arc supports the making of quality art in all media, builds a community of artists to encourage exploration of art, and promotes appreciation of the visual arts in the City of San Francisco.

Inhabiting Blurred Divides:  An exhibition on themes of womanhood, identity, and dualities.

As young women and artists, we all struggle with what it means to be a woman in this society: How do we fit in our communities, in academic institutions, in the larger arts community, and in our personal relationships? How are we received as leaders and artists? How do other identifiers such as race, sexuality, or class intersect with our identities as women? How are we perceived in relationship to men?  How are we allowed to love, dream, create, inspire after a years of socialization?   This exhibition examines the fundamental nature of womanhood and aims to respond to these questions.  These works explore and question the dualities that seem to be inherent in female identity and the parameters that define womanhood in our society.  Our intended audience is all people of every age and gender.  We hope that other young women will identify with the struggles that inspire our art-making and that others will understand our perspectives we represent in our work and think critically about these themes.
