ART

When the members of the Peninsula Women’s Caucus for Art chose the theme Aftermath, it was with a common consensus that the appropriate title was chosen for the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001. The theme Aftermath brought up many reactions from the artists; and it was decided that the work could be personal, political or interpreted by each individual’s perspective. The perspectives vary from dark, judgmental and personal to new life, hope, preserve and rebuild. The art created for the exhibition is emotionally moving and showcases the depth of talent of the Peninsula Women’s Caucus for Art.

Founded in 1972 in connection with the College Art Association, Peninsula Women's Caucus for Art is a national member organization unique in its multi-disciplinary, multicultural membership of artists, art historians, students/educators, and museum professionals. The mission of the Women's Caucus for Art is to expand opportunities and recognition for women in the arts. It is committed to education about the contributions of women, opportunities for the exhibition of women's work, publication of women's writing about art, inclusion of women in the history of art, professional equity for all, and respect for all individuals without discrimination and support for legislation relevant to its goals.
