The SCWCA Equity in the Arts Committee actively works to change the status of women artists by combating sexist and racist practices in arts organizations, academic institutions, and the media. Our goal is to ensure that the artistic visions of women and people of color are accepted and valued in the art world on their own terms. We not only encourage inclusion, but support accurate representation and interpretation.
We achieve our mission through the following actions:
- Monitoring the exhibition histories and equity policies of local arts institutions.
- Sending letters of appreciation to museums and community galleries that mount exhibitions of the work of women and people of color.
- Contributing articles and equity statistics to the SC/WCA newsletter regarding the status of all women in the arts.
- Publishing reports such as the upcoming Building Bridges/Tearing Down Walls: A Search for Equity in Southern California Arts Institutions.
Educating our membership about current events related to the arts (status of the NEA, California Civil Rights Initiative, Proposition 187).
