The Women's Caucus for Art, founded in 1972 in connection with the College Art Association (CAA), is a national member organization unique in its multi-disciplinary, multicultural membership of artists, art historians, students, educators, and museum professionals.     The Philadelphia Chapter is the oldest chapter of the Women’s Caucus for Art.

As an official chapter of the National Women’s Caucus for Art (www.nationalwca.com), the members of the WCA-Philly are part of a nationwide network of women artists. Philadelphia members are invited to participate in exhibitions and other opportunities offered by chapters in the other 26 cities that are part of the National WCA.

We are committed to:
education about the contributions of women.
opportunities for the exhibition of women's work.
publication of women's writing about art.
inclusion of women in the history of art.
professional equity for all.
respect for all individuals without discrimination.
support for legislation relevant to our goals.

Our meetings are free and open to the public. They are held the second Wednesday of every month, 6:30 pm. at Moore College of Art and Design.
