In 1972, the Women’s Caucus for the Art (WCA) founded a national member organization to strengthen the role and address the status of women in the arts without regard to race, religion, or gender. Since its inception, the WCA has been an activist organization, championing the contributions of women in the arts profession.

 

“Femme Fest 2010,” will feature works from more than 30 women artists including the president of Women’s Caucus for the Art of Louisiana, Phyllis Parun, and other members,  such as Cely Pedescleaux and Zé daLuz.
