The Women's Caucus for Art was founded in 1972 in connection with the College Art Association (CAA). It is a national member organization unique in its multi-disciplinary, multicultural membership of artists, art historians, students, educators, and museum professionals. The WCA has promoted feminist art and art as activism for 40 years.

The mission of the Women’s Caucus for Art is to create community through art, education and social activism.
We are committed to:
· recognizing the contribution of women in the arts
· providing women with leadership opportunities and professional development
· expanding networking and exhibition opportunities for women
· supporting local, national and global art activism
· advocating for equity in the arts for all

As an NGO (non-governing organization) of the United Nations, the Women's Caucus for Art supports the UN Millennium Goals:
· Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
· Achieve universal primary education
· Promote gender equity and empower women
· Reduce child mortality
· Improve maternal health
· Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
· Ensure environmental sustainability

As a founding member of the Feminist Art Project, WCA is part of a collaborative national initiative celebrating the Feminist Art Movement and the aesthetic, intellectual and political impact of women on the visual arts, art history, and art practice, past and present.
