THE WILD SIDE CALL FOR ART
California Women Celebrate the Untamed
You were once wild here. Don’t let them tame you.
~ Isadora Duncan
We all have a wild side, whether we stride boldly there or keep it under the radar. Women, traditionally, have been taught to keep their “wildness” under wraps – raucous, adventurous, risk-taking, bold & brave, sometimes licentious, or living outside traditional moral codes. For “The Wild Side,” we are looking for works that excite visually, evoke drama or strong emotions and celebrate the untamed.
Submission Deadline May 23, 2022

NCWCA CASUAL CONNECTIONS
|
Thursday May 19 6:30 - 7:30 PM Pacific Daylight Time
Join us in May for a virtual get-together! NCWCA is launching a virtual get-together every third Thursday of the month. Drop in from 6:30 -7:30 pm and catch up with fellow members on a wide range of topics. Let's share news or get information about current exhibitions, artmaking, workshops, art books, great art resources, as well as simply catching up with each other. This is a great way for new members to get to know members of the chapter. There's no agenda and Casual Connections is self-moderated - we hope everyone will have a chance to share an idea or experience. Future Casual Connections will alternate between 6:30 - 7:30 PM and 12 - 1 pm to accommodate the varying schedules of members. This monthly event is exclusively for NCWCA members. You will be provided with a Zoom link prior to the get-together. |
