DEADLINE: SUNDAY, APRIL 5, 2025
EXHIBITION DATES: May 10 2025 thru May 31 2025
CWCA is seeking works that tells a story. From the rich tradition of women telling tales through quilting and needlework, bedtime fables, family history, or impressions of our community, the visual arts develop intuitive vocabulary.
What are the stories that describe our lives? Is it a narrative from literature or myth , or is it a combination of images , patterns and colors that convey our emotions?:

Midwest Nature: its beauty and its peril
“Midwest Nature: Its Beauty and Its Peril” - A curated CWCA EXHIBITION at the Mayslake/Peabody Estate in Oakbrook, IL
DEADLINE: SUNDAY, APRIL 20, 2025
EXHIBITION DATES: Jun 9 2025 thru Jul 26 2025
CWCA is seeking works that express the beauty of nature in the Midwest — literally, abstractly and metaphorically. How we are connected to the nature around us? The works selected could range from manicured gardens to prairie grasses and native flowers, to the water and the sky above, some conveying concerns about how some natural areas are negatively affected by extreme environmental issues such as drought and flooding caused by climate change.

Celebrating 50 years with a new logo
marking our reflection on the past
and look to the future.
50 years ago CWCA played a role in fighting for women’s rights, changing the exhibition landscape in Chicago and beyond. Ironically, today’s political climate once again threatens women’s rights in ways so absurd it has inspired us at CWCA to partner with various art groups to bring “absurdity” exhibitions to the greater Chicago community. In this way CWCA continues its 50-year history of advancing women’s opportunities to develop creative solutions in the greater Chicago community.
ABOUT the NEW LOGO
The logo references the circular shape of the National WCA logo.
The letters CWCA were softened and the W enlarged to highlight the women in our organization.
The Color Wheel - is the graphic foundation; building on it and symbolizing 50 years of interactions, building relationships and serving women artists.
Lines - give a landscape feel with a horizon (reflecting on the past, but looking toward the future and appreciating members old and new and the energy of all.
Smaller Circles reflect the organic ever changing nature of the organization throughout our 50 year history and celebration of this and anticipation of what the next 50 years will bring. They add a festive and youthful tone.
CONGRATULATIONS to our CWCA members!
