Were you a member of the Washington Women's Art Center or know someone that was?
In the summer of 2018, the Alper Initiative will have two juried exhibits that will honor the Washington Women’s Arts Center, the feminist arts organization in the DC metropolitan area in the 1970s - 80s.
They are soliciting work from former members and exhibitors of the WWAC!
Because not all submissions will be selected by the juror for physical display at the museum, the museum plans to include a slide show identifying all former members. Therefore, all former members are encouraged to send a high resolution headshot and image of their work (300 DPI), as well as a short quote about what the WWAC meant to them for inclusion in the slideshow to aiwa@american.edu.
So, please begin gathering your materials and share this information!
