Women Contemporary Artists,
based in Southwest Florida, is an organization of professional women
actively creating fine art. It originated in 1984 from the vision of
twenty charter members who were committed to fostering recognition for
women's artistic accomplishments and contributions to the visual arts.
Our goal today is to continue to provide this visibility, encouragement,
and inspiration to women artists. Every effort is made to bring public
exposure to the achievements of our members through magazine and
newspaper articles, radio talks, participation in local arts' day
events, and any other opportunity that will help our members personally
grow and connect with the public.
WCA's many activities include our
sponsored, juried member exhibitions and art-related programs.
Member-planned solo and group exhibitions are encouraged.
Our members assemble for an annual fall
retreat to enrich our sisterhood, learn about different art techniques
through workshop format, and/or pursue one's own work independently. Gatherings are held at members’ homes to
critique artwork in progress. At
our end of year event, we present scholarship awards to local women college students who choose to continue their art education.
WCA's activities and events are
posted in our website newsletter to keep members informed and
updated. The public is welcome to browse through our website to learn about
the
organization, our exhibitions, and view images of artwork on the members'
web pages.
