|
Abstract: |
The National Women's
Caucus for Art grew out of a discussion on gender at an art conference in San
Francisco in 1972. The National Women's Conference in 1977 inspired women in
Houston's artistic community to form their own chapter of the Women's Caucus
for Art. The records consist of photographs, newsletters, grant applications,
financial records, conference and art exhibition information. |

The surge of woman-centered activity that came in the wake of the 1977
National Women's Conference inspired women in Houston's artistic community to
bind together and form their own chapter of the Women's Caucus for Art.
Papers for the National Women's Conference are held by the Women's
Archive and Research Center, Special Collections, M.D. Anderson
Library, University of Houston, Houston, Texas. The National Women's Caucus for Art had grown out of a
discussion on gender at an art conference in San Francisco, California in 1972.
The national organization's stated purpose was “to win parity in the
valuation of works by women; to create new opportunities for women to document,
produce and exhibit works, and to assemble for the exchange of ideas,
experience and constructive criticism.”
“Background of the Women's Caucus for Art,” Houston
Women's Caucus for Art Collection, Women's Archive and Research Center, Special
Collections, M.D. Anderson Library, University of Houston.On January 10, 1978, the Houston Women's Caucus for Art expanded
that mission to Houston and held its first organizational meeting. In 1980, the
state of Texas recognized the group as a non-profit organization.
Meetings were held monthly, and membership quickly expanded. Members
elected a board of directors, or executive board. The positions in this board
have varied over the years, but consisted of a president, program coordinator,
secretary, treasurer, exhibition coordinator, publicity coordinator, membership
coordinator, newsletter editor, and special events coordinator in 1997. The
board makes all of the major decisions for the organization; however, officers
welcome input from a community advisory board and all members.
While the Caucus first met in the household of one of its members, the
organization soon realized the need for a larger meeting space. Preferably,
this space should have a gallery in which members could hold exhibitions. To
obtain this, the Caucus joined other Montrose area organizations in the
Neartown Association. This neighborhood community group helped to preserve and
restore an old Montrose fire station at 1413 Westheimer, which became the
meeting and exhibition hall for all groups. By 1983, the Caucus proved to be
the most frequent user of the facility, and signed a long-term lease. In 1998,
Harris County purchased the Firehouse and the Caucus continued to sublet its
space as a gallery for experimental, up and coming, and member artists until
1999. During 1999, the county decided to use the entire building as office
space, and so the Caucus relocated to 3015 Richmond, Suite 270, in the Upper
Kirby Building. The Caucus has an office and a large meeting room available,
but presently does not have a space which can be used as a gallery.
The Caucus has remained true to its purposes in the two decades of its
existence. The group sponsors local artists through individual, group, and
member shows. The organization has also helped to bring many artists of
national renown and controversy to Houston, such as Matuschka, Judy Chicago,
and Karen Finley. Not only has the Caucus shown a commitment to artistic
expression, but it has also shown a commitment to feminist activism.
Exhibitions have included artwork by survivors of domestic violence and art
promoting awareness of breast cancer. Furthermore, the very existence of the
HWCA has allowed many women an exhibition space that would otherwise be denied
to them due to gender and racial discrimination in the art world.
Return to the Table of Contents
The papers for the Houston Women's Caucus for Art (HWCA) date from its
founding in 1978 to 1997. Some items, however, pre-date this period. The
largest portion of the papers is devoted to photos and to art exhibitions
sponsored by the Caucus. The next largest portion includes newsletters, grant
applications and fundraising, financial records, and conferences. The remainder
of the papers is devoted to information pertaining to the business of the
Caucus, membership, and the visual arts in Houston. Many of the items located
in this collection do not specifically deal with the HWCA. Some drift toward
general art news, activism, arts organizations, or other chapters of the
National Women's Caucus for Art. These materials have been retained in order to
give researchers a sense of the networking, interests, and activities of the
Caucus beyond the confines of the Firehouse.
The collection has thirteen series: Administration, Firehouse Gallery,
Newsletters, Exhibitions, Events, Fundraising, Members, Finances, Conferences,
Photos, Posters, Clippings, and General Visual Arts. The original arrangement
varied according to year. Generally, previous record keepers tended to organize
the documents around fundraising, particularly grant applications, and around
the art shows sponsored by the Caucus. This current organization was imposed by
the archivist, and follows a topical arrangement. In the future, the archival
staff may add new material to the end of each series and sub-series.

Information on the formation and business operation of the Houston
Women's Caucus for Art from 1978 to 1998 lies in the Organization series. This
series contains thirty-two folders and five sub-series: Board, Correspondence,
Documentation, Meetings, and Office. The Board sub-series includes rosters of
the officers for the Community Advisory board and the Executive Board, as well
as descriptions of board positions. This sub-series also contains two folders,
President (Joy Mullet), and Chapter Representative, that duplicate most of the
information found throughout the collection. These two folders have been kept
intact, as they were found in the original order of the collection, in order to
give researchers insight into the activity of a president and chapter
representative through the course of their tenure. The Correspondence
sub-series contains all general correspondence to HWCA. Letters referring to
specific events or grants were kept in those categories. The Documentation
sub-series includes such official organizational information as the by-laws,
articles of incorporation, mission statement, various guidelines, and the
official history of the HWCA. The Meetings sub-series contains the outline for
the original meeting of the HWCA, and the announcements, agenda, and minutes
for subsequent meetings. This set is incomplete. The Office sub-series includes
media mailing lists, notes scribbled on scrap paper, information on office
supplies and printers, and the address for the HWCA web site. |

through the HWCA use and upkeep of the facility until 1999. The series contains
fifteen folders, organized alphabetically by subject: Alarm System, Expenses,
Floor Plans, Gallery Agreements, Gallery Sitters, Insurance, Lease Agreement,
Parking, Neartown Association, Renovation, Sign, Use. |

Newsletters |
|
The Newsletters series includes sixty-one folders spanning the
years 1978 to 1997. They are divided into four sub-series: Houston, Chapters,
Regional, and National. The National newsletter changed titles several times,
from simply
Newsletter, to
Hue Points, to
Update. An incomplete
set of these can be found in the National sub-series. Researchers wishing to
find a full set of National newsletters should refer to the National Women's
Caucus for Art archives in New Jersey. The Regional sub-series contains only
one folder, and is not specific to any region. The Chapters sub-series contains
newsletters for various WCA chapters throughout the nation. This sub-series is
arranged alphabetically according to state, then according to chapter within
that state. None of the sets of these newsletters are complete, and researchers
should refer to those individual chapters for more information. Although the
National, Regional, and Chapter subseries do not contain all of the newsletters
for those organizations, they have been retained in this collection in order
for researchers to ascertain the interaction of the HWCA with their sister
organizations throughout the nation. The Houston sub-series contains an
incomplete set of newsletters for the HWCA, arranged chronologically. This set
is almost complete, missing most of 1986, 1987, 1989, and 1990. |

Events |
|
The Events series covers all events held by the HWCA that do not
fall into the fundraising or the exhibition categories. The ten folders cover
the years 1982 through 1997, and are arranged into six subjects: Houston
International Festival, Retreat, Social, Speakers, Studio Tours, and Workshops.
Houston International Festival, and Retreat currently contain only one folder
each. The Social folder includes primarily fliers for social gatherings that
did not include a show, a meeting or any other functions. The Speakers folders
are arranged by title of the lecture series or subject. While many of the
artists who showed their work at the Firehouse gallery also gave talks or sat
on panels in conjunction with those exhibitions, information about those
engagements have been left with the information about the exhibition. The
Studio Tours folder contains schedules and fliers for seasonal tours of various
artists' working environments. These materials are arranged chronologically.
The Workshops folder is in chronological order, and contains brochures and
fliers about various Workshops held by the caucus. The workshops were not
strictly limited to the creation of art, but also extended to the marketing and
display of art. |

Fundraising |
|
The Fundraising sub-series covers the years 1982 through 1996. It
contains forty folders arranged into five sub-series: Contributors, Grants,
Events, Reports, and Miscellaneous. The Contributors sub-series includes lists
of Gifts-In-Kind, information about the Kroger Share Card, and correspondence
with various companies, individuals and organizations in regard to donations to
HWCA. The Grants sub-series is arranged alphabetically by organization. The
largest of these groups is the Cultural Arts Council of Houston (CACH). This
sub-series contains grant applications and correspondence concerning those
grants. The Events sub-series is arranged chronologically according to the
particular fundraising event. “Drop In, Switch On” is the most
recurrent of these events. The Reports sub-series contains an incomplete set of
summaries of Caucus fundraising activities. All other fundraising information
can be found in the Miscellaneous sub-series. |

Finances |
|
The Finances series contains an almost complete financial record
of the Caucus from 1980-1996. This series includes fifty folders arranged into
twelve sub-series: Bank Statements; Blazek, et al, CPA; Budgets; Checks;
Deposits; Income Tax; Ledgers; Receipts; River Oaks Bank; Treasurer; Yearly
Financial Statements; and Miscellaneous. The Bank Statements sub-series ends in
July of 1996; and it is missing June through December 1994, and all but July
and September of 1995. Blazek, et al CPA is the accounting firm that handles
tax matters for the Caucus. This sub-series includes predominantly
correspondence with that company. The Budgets sub-series is incomplete, and
reflects only the budgets for the activities of the entire Caucus. Budgets for
individual exhibitions are found in the folders for those particular shows. The
Treasurer sub-series contains the procedures for the office of the treasurer,
and an incomplete set of monthly reports made by the treasurer at Board
Meetings. The Yearly Financial Statements sub-series is not complete, and
includes annual and biannual reports. Miscellaneous contains all other
financial information that did not fit into any particular category. |

Conferences |
|
The Conferences series contains fliers, invitations, programs and
brochures for conferences attended by the HWCA between 1978 and 1997. There are
two sub-series: National Women's Caucus for Art and Other. The thirty-five
folders are arranged chronologically within their subseries. In 1988, the
National Women's Caucus for Art held their annual conference in Houston. Thus,
within the National Women's Caucus for Art sub-series exists a longer grouping
for the Houston conference, arranged by topic. |

Photographs |
|
The Photographs series is one of the strongest in the HWCA
collection. The photographs in this series depict various events and artwork
for exhibitions sponsored by the Caucus. This series contains one hundred
firty-four folders covering the years 1980 through 1997, and is divided into
four sub-series: Negatives, Proofsheets, Slides, and Prints. Within these
sub-series, the items are arranged chronologically according to event or
exhibition. Dates in brackets are estimates based on the location of the
photograph in the original arrangement. Unknown photographs and undated
photographs are at the end of each sub-series. Most people depicted in the
photographs are unidentified. Those who are identifiable are labeled on the
tissue paper separating the photographs. Each folder indicates the number of
items in the folder, and the type of photo (black and white or color). Where
possible, the artist of a particular work has been identified. |

Clippings |
|
The Clippings series includes all newspaper and magazine clippings
found throughout the original arrangement of the HWCA papers. Due to the great
number and concern for preservation of these clippings, they were separated
into their own series and copied onto acid-free paper when possible. Some
clippings were too large to copy. Those have been removed into Box 24, although
they remain in the Clippings series. This series contains seventy-six folders
within thirteen sub-series. The sub-series themselves are arranged
alphabetically, then chronologically within each sub-series. They predominantly
follow a similar pattern as the series for the collection. The Clippings
sub-series are arranged topically, and include: AIDS Stories, Art Spaces,
Artists, Art News, Conferences, Events, Finances, Firehouse, Houston Image, NEA
Battles Censorship, Shows, Women's Issues, and Miscellaneous. |

General Visual Arts (GVA) |
|
This series contains general information related to the visual
arts in Houston, little of it directly related to HWCA. The twenty-seven
folders contain material from the years 1979-1998, including some with no date.
One folder is located in oversized Box 24. There are five subseries, arranged
alphabetically: Artists, Art Spaces, Journals, Organizations, and Politics. The
Artists sub-series contains an alphabetical arrangement of resumes and
biographies of various artists, predominantly from the Houston area and
involved with the HWCA. The Art Spaces subseries includes information about
various galleries and museum Houston. The Firehouse, the HWCA gallery, is
excluded from this sub-series because it merits a series of its own. The
Journals sub-series contains various arts journals. The Organizations
sub-series contains fliers, brochures, and other information about different
artists' groups or organizations supporting the arts. The Politics sub-series
includes information on different political issues and candidates involving
women and the arts. Most of the information in this series is local. Some
organizations and political issues, however, include information from the state
and national level. |
