CWCA stellar presentations

Helene Smith Romer initiated, organized and brought to fruition the CWCA Stellar Presentations program. It is an opportunity to learn more about the art of Chicago WCA artists and invited artists using the ZOOM platform. During the pandemic CWCA searched for ways to connect and to share. These are candid presentations with genuine unfiltered and unedited responses from the participants. We look forward to future presentations.

There is possibility to donate work to Institutions like Kohler., and, Purdue University - Judy Jacobi is the asst Vice-Chancellor Art Collections. Aron Packer spoke of the importance of advocates and financial record/history.

(Take-away: artists need someone advocating for them during their art career and after they are gone. To put it in other words relationships matter. BUT - It is up to us to document, get ourselves out there, get the work out there and plan for the works future - every artist will do this/or not in their own unique way)
