More About Us
We do not discriminate in any way and welcome anyone interested in the arts, male or female, educator, gallery director, artist or arts administrator to join us in furthering art dialogue. Please see the membership area of our website or go to the national website at www.nationalwca.org
We are organized under the National organization of the Women's Caucus for Art in New York, which was established in 1972, an outgrowth of the College Arts Association. Please see the WCA national website at www.nationalwca.org . To be a member of the Colorado Chapter of the WCA, we need also to be a member of the national WCA. The National organization is a 501c3, but the Colorado chapter has not organized as such yet.
