Calls for art

A Place at the Table - 2D Gallery Wall Exhibition
The Southern California Women’s Caucus for Art (SCWCA) invites artists to submit work for the exhibition A Place at the Table 2D Artwork. Inspired by The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago, this exhibition explores themes of inclusion, visibility, equity, and the ongoing reexamination of historical and cultural narratives.
Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly. Submissions may address concepts such as presence and absence, access and exclusion, identity, memory, labor, community, and the reclamation or creation of space. The notion of “the table” may be approached literally or conceptually, and work may reflect personal, social, or political perspectives.

A Place at the Table - Place Setting Installation
Join fellow SCWCA members in creating a unique place setting that celebrates your place at the table in our creative community and the world beyond. Inspired by Judy Chicago’s famous Dinner Party installation (https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/dinner_party)  which honored women throughout history, SCWCA's Place at the Table collaborative installation is the keystone project of our 50th Anniversary celebration.
This exhibition reimagines the symbolic act of “taking a seat” through the creation of individual place settings that together form a unified installation. Each participating artist (you can collaborate with another SCWCA member) will design and construct a single place setting, contributing to a collective table that reflects diverse perspectives on inclusion, identity, memory, and belonging.

Tag group shows

As part of SCWCA’s new Association Membership with TAG Gallery, located in Los Angeles, one SCWCA member will have the opportunity to exhibit in each of TAG’s in-person group shows.

The SCWCA artist selected for a group show will be determined by the SCWCA board. A SCWCA member can only exhibit in one TAG group show per year. 2D and 3D work is accepted. Prints of original artwork is not accepted. Work must be for sale with a minimum price of $200. The commission split with TAG is 65% for the artist and 35% to TAG. TAG is not strict about the dimensions for the artwork in the group shows,
however, the group shows are hung in TAG’s Sky gallery, with quite low ceilings which doesn’t favor very large works. Hanging is at the discretion of the hanging team. TAG group shows are on exhibit for approximately three weeks. You must be able to drop-off your work to TAG on the date listed below for the specific show you are
submitting to. No shipping allowed. You will be notified of the pickup date if you are selected - pick-ups are usually the day after the show closes.
