CWCA History

Women's Caucus for Art , founded in 1972 in connection with the College Art Association (CAA), is unique in its multi-disciplinary, multicultural membership of artists, art historians, students and educators, museum professionals and galleries in the visual arts. We support women working in the visual arts today by providing members with a network of Sister Sites in which to research and participate in national exhibitions and conferences. Each chapter of the national Women's Caucus for Art also sponsors local exhibitions, educational programs and studio visits. The Women's Caucus for Art holds an annual national conference in conjunction with the CAA annual conference.
