DJERASSI DAY SEPT 3, 2017

Picture
The Women's Caucus for Art (WCA) Day at Djerassi Resident Artists Program brought together a vibrant community of women artists to explore, make art, reflect and interact in a setting of great natural beauty.
In addition to artist panel and workshops, we had breakfast and lunch served from Djerassi's amazing organic kitchen and the unique opportunity to tour the land art created by years of Djerassi Residency Artists. Djerassi, in the hills above the Northern California peninsula, is closed to the public most of the year.
Djerassi Day 2017's theme was "Actionable Art and Artists" – focusing on art practices that take action, create change, communicate, heal, activate, educate, transform and make the planet a better place. In these uncertain times, many of us are asking what we can do as artists, individuals, and collaboratively. Djerassi Day 2017 provided an opportunity for WCA artists to connect, share, learn new skills, and plan with these thoughts in mind.

LAND ART DAY PESCADERO SEPT 22, 2017

You don't have to be a Land Art expert to make land art! You are invited to find ways to use materials found on the land to create art. You can also bring materials that are biodegradable. We start by finding a place on the land to make art in the morning, then come together in the afternoon to view all of the work created and to document it with photographs. This annual NCWCA event is open to members, their families and friends. 

YEAR-END PARTY AT JUDY JOHNSON-WILLIAMS' STUDIO

The year-end party is an annual tradition. It's a time for us all to get together after the busy Holiday Season and before the year closes. The evening is filled with conversations, good food, laughter and art. Our traditions include burning bad juju to clear our hearts and minds of bad, sad, ugly things that happened during the year. We do a White Elephant exchange, which enables us to wrap unused art-making tools and materials in beautiful paper and share laughter over what's inside. Equally important is the making of art, sharing a communal table filled with art-making materials and through it, set our intentions for the coming year. All members and their guests are welcome to this event.
