Women’s Caucus (WC) Column: Summer 2023

Invitation to Participate in 50 Actions for 50 Years of the NAEA’s Women’s Caucus

The NAEA Women’s Caucus is deeply committed to human rights and the safety of all learners and educators. We are calling all National Art Education Association Women’s Caucus (WC) members to do feminist activism work toward human rights and the safety of all learners and educators.

Submit a one-page visual and descriptive documentation of your action here by July 30, 2023.

Our goal is to inspire collective action now and share those actions by WC members in a 50th-anniversary online publication. See a sample one-page documentation below.

Upcoming…

The NAEA Women’s Caucus formed in 1973 and was approved by NAEA in 1976. We are celebrating our 50th anniversary from 2023 through 2025.

As we approached this milestone, a motion to consider changing the name of our Interest Group to better reflect the inclusivity of our mission was proposed. Watch for more information and opportunities to participate in discussion via Collaborate this June.
