50th Anniversary of Committee on Women in the Arts: Looking Back, Moving Forward
Committee on Women in the Arts
Chair: Joanna P. Gardner-Huggett
Speakers: Judith K. Brodsky, Ferris Olin, Midori Yoshimoto, Carron P Little, Kalliopi Minioudaki, Zoë Charlton

Fifty years ago, the Committee on Women in the Arts was founded to promote the recognition of women’s valuable contribution to the visual arts and to critical art-historical study; advocate for feminist scholarship and activism in art; develop partnerships with organizations with compatible missions; monitor the status of women in the visual-arts professions; provide historical and current resources on feminist issues; and support emerging artists and scholars in their careers. In 2020, the CWA implemented the 50/50 initiative, which aims for 50% representation of women scholars and artists at the CAA annual conference and intersectional feminist content inclusive of race, class, gender, body size, disability or age. At this significant juncture, this session proposes to reflect on the committee’s history by inviting previous members and chairs to discuss their work with the CWA, as well as collaborations with other affiliate committees and groups, such as the Women’s Caucus for Art, The Feminist Art Project, the Queer Caucus, and many more. In addition to assessing CWA’s past contributions, the panel will engage in a conversation of what work remains to be done.
