Occupy the Moment: Embracing Our History, Enhancing Our Impact

WCA CONFERENCE REIMAGINED

Given the growing concerns around Covid-19 and the Omicron variant, WCA is working to transform WCA’s Occupy the Moment: Embracing Our History, Enhancing Our Impact conference panels, board meeting, and LTA Awards and Gala to virtual formats that will be rolled out during the course of 2022. Dates and details will be coming early in 2022.

WCA’s 50th anniversary exhibitions in Chicago are going forward as planned.

The Chicago Chapter’s opening reception of the “Best of Women” exhibition showcasing the work of WCA members is on Thursday, February 17 from 6-9 pm at Stola Contemporary located at 3738 W Irving Park Road, Chicago. The exhibit runs through March 13, 2022.

Our anniversary theme “Occupy the Moment: Embracing Our History, Enhancing Our Impact” celebrates our strengths and accomplishments and explores how we are moving to embrace new agendas and support emerging voices going forward.

Finally, you can register for The Feminist Art Project (TFAP) virtual panels at CAA on Feb. 18-29 via their website (https://feministartproject.rutgers.edu/tfap-at-caa/ ) The program is free but you do have to register.
