Summer Gathering: The Women’s Caucus for Art (WCA)

Friday, July 10 – Saturday, July 11, 2026

Join WCA for a free two-day exploration as we dive into what independence really means for women’s history, art and bodily autonomy. All are welcome!

As the United States marks its 250th anniversary in 2026, WCA is planning an “Independence for Whom? Summer Gathering”—a two-day program designed to examine the meaning of independence through the lens of women’s history, artistic expression, and bodily autonomy.

This gathering will engage artists, scholars, and community members in panels and workshops, culminating in the art reception for “Independence for Whom?” at the historic Workhouse Arts Center—a former prison that once confined suffragists demanding the right to vote.
