Abstract or Description

The College Art Association's Committee on Women in the Arts (CWA) promotes the scholarly study and recognition of women’s contributions to the visual arts and to critical and art-historical studies; advocates for feminist scholarship and activism in art; develops partnerships with organizations with compatible missions; monitors the status of women in the visual-arts professions; provides historical and current resources on feminist issues; and supports emerging artists and scholars in their careers.

The Committee on Women in the Arts (CWA) researches and makes available published studies on the status of women in the arts while working with CAA to analyze women’s current professional status through questionnaires and databases. CWA collaborates with CAA affiliated societies such as ArtTable, The Feminist Art Project, the Women’s Caucus for Art, and the Queer Caucus (many of whose memberships overlap). Over the years, CWA has worked with other CAA committees—Diversity Practices, Education, and Student and Emerging Professionals, for example—to organize events for the CAA Annual Conference. CWA is involved in the ongoing project of identifying organizations and funding sources that support women in the arts. As this information comes to light, it will be available online to the CAA membership.

Each quarter the CWA shares with CAA members a curated selection of exhibitions, conferences, symposia, panels, lectures, special screenings, and other art-related events. CWA's Picks highlights art and scholarship by self-identifying women and femme-identifying individuals from across the globe that address issues pertaining to women and art, including, but not exclusive to, considerations of identity, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, representation, health, abilities, labor, motherhood, reproduction, parity, inclusion, and activism.
