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. Members are encouraged to plan their own solo and group exhibitions.

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. Monthly gatherings are held at members homes to critique artwork in progress or to just socialize. 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 on the website and in our website newsletters 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.
