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 yearly activities include our sponsored, juried member exhibitions and art-related programs. Additionally, member-planned self and group exhibitions are encouraged. New members have the opportunity to display their work for members at one of our winter programs. Gatherings are held at members’ homes to critique artwork in progress, social occasions are held and member planned group exhibitions are arranged.

 

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. At our end of year party, we present scholarship awards to local, juried women college students who choose to continue their art education.

 

All of WCA's activities and events are posted in our newsletter on our website to keep members informed and updated. The public can access our website to learn about our organization, our exhibitions, and view artwork on the member pages.
