Celebrate! An Open Call For Art

In honor of SCWCA’s 50th anniversary, we invite artists to submit work to Celebrate!, a dynamic juried exhibition marking five decades of creating community through art, education, and social activism in the visual arts across Southern California.

What does Celebrate! mean to you?

This open call for art welcomes a wide interpretation of the theme. All self-identified women artists are welcome to enter their work. We encourage artists to reflect on and Celebrate! what matters most in their lives and creative practice. Whether it’s the joy of personal milestones, social progress, relationships, the natural world, identity, resistance, cultural heritage, or the act of making art itself. This is a moment to lift up and honor the people, places, ideas, and experiences that fuel your passion.

Celebrate! is an opportunity to share your voice, vision, and vitality.

Juror: Holly Jerger (she/her) is the Art Galleries Director at California State University, Northridge and was previously Senior Exhibitions Curator at Craft Contemporary in Los Angeles.

The Woman's Perspective, at the Long Beach Creative Group,
celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Southern California Women's Caucus for Art (SCWCA). This thought-provoking exhibition delves into the world through the eyes of women showcasing their experiences, emotions, and narratives across various mediums. Featuring works by diverse female artists, The Woman's Perspective highlights themes of identity, resilience, empowerment, and the everyday realities of womanhood. By presenting stories that are often overlooked or underrepresented The Woman's Perspective invites viewers to engage with art that challenges perceptions, sparks conversation, and celebrates the multifaceted nature of the female experience. Through art, this exhibition creates a space where women?s voices are amplified,
their perspectives honored, and their creativity embraced.
