March is Women’s History Month, which sees important organizations from the Library of Congress to the Smithsonian Institution recognizing the vital role of women throughout American history. This month we’re joining the celebration by saluting five organizations that are helping elevate our historic contributions to art and encouraging women creators making the cultural history of tomorrow. Consider giving them a boost by attending their events, sending contributions, or donating your time.
Ever since it was founded in 1975, Women’s Studio Workshop has sought to make sure women’s visual art is integral to the cultural mainstream and permanently recorded in history. After 50 years, they are still realizing that vision through an artists’ workspace that encourage the voices and visions of women—providing professional opportunities for artists (like Alicia Henry, pictured) and promoting programs that stimulate awareness of the visual arts, including etching, silkscreen, ceramics and more. Follow them at @WSWorkshop to see more of what is emerging from their Hudson Valley studios.
Women’s Caucus for Art is an organization whose members are multicultural and multidisciplinary—encompassing artists, art historians, students, educators and museum professionals. (For example, feminist art critic Gloria Orenstein is pictured above, being recognized with the organization’s lifetime achievement award.) WCA’s goal is to create community through artwork, education and activism—connecting women in the arts to opportunities to lead, develop professionally, network, and exhibit what they create. WCA is also a founding member of the Feminist Art Project. Keep up with WCA at @womenscaucusforart.
