Today marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.
In 1970, 20 million Americans peacefully demonstrated to protect our planet and for environmental policy reform, marking the beginning of the modern environmental movement and spurring the enactment of some of the most effective national environmental policy. Fifty years later, Earth Day is now a global event and the movement’s legacy educates and mobilizes more than one billion people to grow and support the next generation of environmental activists.
Today is also perfect time to view The Ground Upon Which We Stand Exhibition, a regional juried exhibition sponsored by the Northern California Women's Caucus for Art (NCWCA) in collaboration with the Abrams Claghorn Gallery.
Envisioned to coordinate with Earth Day 2020, The Ground Upon Which We Stand features 78 artists speaking out about the sacredness of the land and the importance of standing your ground in this era of climate change and a global health crisis.

To purchase artwork from the exhibit, visit the Abrams Claghorn Gallery Online Store.

Members, potential members and friends are invited to the annual NCWCA Year-End Party! Let's celebrate together by sharing good food & drinks, burning bad juju, art-making and exchanging White Elephant gifts.
When: Thursday, December 27 from 6 - 9 pm
Where: Judy Johnson-Williams' studio at 347 Lewis Street, Oakland
We do these things every year-end:
1. Bring a potluck food or drink item to share
2. Burn juju to cleanse the past: write down bad or sad things that happened during the year, twist up the paper, and burn it in Judy's hibachi
3. Bring something from your studio (tool, materials, objects) that you aren't using. Make sure to wrap it in beautiful paper, and participate in the annual White Elephant exchange. Some of the items have been precious, others hilarious, one woman's junk is another's treasure.
4. Art-Making is a core value for NCWCA and Elizabeth Addison will be sure to surprise us with a spontaneous art-making activity.
