History
In 1984 twenty women artists in the region developed a plan to form a group to encourage other women artists in their artistic journeys. They also felt that it was important to recognize, promote and support the contributions that women have made and continue to make in the visual fine arts. In 1985 the group affiliated with the national organization, Women’s Caucus for Art. In 1999 this regional women’s art group separated from the national organization and changed its name to Women Contemporary Artists. This talented group of women artists has continually grown each year and now has more than 130 regional members.
