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 art events, and
other opportunities.
WCA's many activities include
our juried member exhibitions and art-related programs. Members unite to
plan their own solo and group exhibitions.
Business meetings and
programs are held for members and guests. Members assemble for an annual
fall retreat to enrich our sisterhood, explore different art techniques
and work independently. Monthly gatherings are held at members homes to
critique artwork in progress and socialize. At our year end event, we
present scholarship awards to local women college students who choose to
continue their art education.
WCA's activities and events
are posted on the website 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 member's artwork.
