About WCA

WCA Mission

Women Centered Art is about bringing awareness to and creating community for artists through lectures, workshops, films and exhibitions.


WCA Vision

Women Centered Art was founded in the belief that there is an innate sense to create in all of us.  By offering lectures, workshops, films and exhibitions focusing on women, artists, and issues that involve women, WCA sustains political awareness and voice and brings new understanding to the way of thinking about women in the arts. WCA's programming focuses on strengthening the female voice and vision here in Charlotte by creating a space to work and a place for nonjudgemental and open dialogue about the creative process.
