Centennial of the 19th Amendment!
Any Women's Caucus for Art member from any Chapter or member at large is welcome to participate. This is a exciting time for us and we need to stand tall!
I would love to have your 4 x 6 x 1/4 piece of original art to place in the book. More than one piece is welcome.
So here is the information you need to know!
Not a member no problem you can join my Chapter at
www.scwca.org or on WCA's National web site at

Please be part of this wonderful project. As many of you who know I love acknowledging any hard working person. So lets create a piece of original art to celebrate this Centennial Anniversary.
She Votes Altered Book Project
This project is timed to run concurrent with the Feminist Art Coalition, a national project by U.S.
art institutions to mark the Centennial of the 19th Amendment that gave women the right to vote. There
will be many exhibitions and programs this year. Many will address its failure to protect women of color
and spotlight enduring inequities across the nation. Locally, MOCA, the Hammer, ICA and others are
participating.
What: SCWCA artist and board member Bonnie J. Smith is creating an altered artist’s book to
commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, a woman’s right to vote. Bonnie J. Smith is
the editor and coordinator of this project with support from the SCWCA board.
Deadline: All works of art must be received no later than June 10, 2020.
