80/20
September 30 - November 14, 2020
Lowe Mill Art's & Entertainment, Huntsville, Alabama
Juried by Committee
Engraved in large marble letters above the entrance to The SupremeCourt building in Washington, DC, are the words “Equal Justice UnderLaw.” Despite the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and The Lilly Ledbetter FairPay Act of 2009, approximately 20 cents of every dollar earned by a white man is missing from the pay earned by a woman. It is tragic that in the 21st-century many people in this country are still waiting for the idea of equality under the law to be more than just a marble façade.
Despite the Equal Pay Act of 1963, there remains a significant median salary gap between men and women. Even when compensable job factors are accounted for, women still earn less. This disparity has us critically questioning what our culture considers to be valuable and essential work.

"INTIMATE SPACES"
CALL FOR ENTRIES Closed
INTIMATE SPACES: an exhibition celebrating works by Alabama artists
May 21 - July 2, 2016
Alabama Women’s Caucus for Art is proud to present the juried exhibition: Intimate Spaces, where we will celebrate the works of Alabama artists as they interpret the meaning of intimacy through art, as outlined in the prospectus below. The exhibition welcomes ALL artists living in Alabama regardless of gender.
THEME: An old drawer, a cozy nest, a fragile shell, a forgotten picture… Our sense of being and becoming can be nestled in the cherished spaces of small physical objects. By exploring these intimate spaces, we unravel the limitless dimensions of our poetic imagination, daydreaming, and remembrance. The notion of space as the experiential harbinger of memories and images provides the impetus for Intimate Spaces. We invite all artists from Alabama to submit small-scale works that reflect upon the relationship of space to intimacy - and intimacy to artistic and poetic imagination.

"PRECARIOUS: THE DANGEROUS PRACTICE OF UNCERTAINTY"
CALL FOR ENTRIES Closed
PRECARIOUS: The Dangerous Practice of Uncertainty
August 22 - September 19, 2015
Precarious: The Dangerous Practice of Uncertainty is an ALWCA Members Only exhibition opportunity, intended to challenge artists to push beyond their comfort zone in their work to the point that it feels perilous in some way. This could happen through the exploration of new media or a new technique, presenting work to a new audience, exploring unfamiliar subject matter, or investigating familiar subject matter in a different way. Artists are encouraged to personally interpret what this theme means to them and to come up with new work or a fresh perspective on their current work that reflects this interpretation. This is very flexible, but the artist will be required to clearly align the work with the theme in order to participate in the exhibition.
CURATORS
ALWCA Exhibition Committee is loosely curating with the goal of ensuring work is within exhibition guidelines, that work is generally of good quality, and that representation is balanced, if necessary.
