An important part of SCWCA's mission is to sponsor exhibitions showcasing the work of women artists.

There is one annual Curator's Choice show open to all members in good standing who have submitted slides or are active on the Artists' Registry. SCWCA members may also organize a group exhibition hosted in the SCWCA Atrium Gallery. Email exhibitions@scwca.org for a copy of the Exhibition RFP Guidelines.

Other exhibitions are usually theme-oriented and organized by the Exhibition Committee, often in conjunction with guest curators at venues across the southland.

Members can also submit news of solo and group exhibitions for listing in the monthly eNewsletter to enews@scwca.org.
