WCA will be in person at the College Art Association’s (CAA) 113th Annual Conference at the New York Hilton Midtown in New York City from February 12–15, 2025. While this is not a WCA Conference, the WCA events at CAA offer an opportunity for WCA members to connect face to face. We would love to have you join us!
We are working on planning casual meet-up events during the course of the conference so that we can gather and spend some time together! More details will be coming in email updates.

If you are attending the conference or live in New York City and want to meet-up, let us know so that we can connect! Contact WCA Programming Chair Laura Morrison at laura.morrison@nationalwca.org.

The Feminist Art Project Day of Panels

Full information at: https://thefeministartproject.org/college-art-association/

Chair: Anonda Bell, Rutgers University
Keynote: Suzanne Anker, School of Visual Arts

Art Historian Linda Nochlin stated that, “feminist art history is there to make trouble, to call into question, to ruffle feathers in the patriarchal dovecotes.” This event is dedicated to women who are troublemakers, and whose creative practice references science as a source of inspiration for writing, research, curating and art making.
