GREEN

A JURIED EXHIBITION OF NCWCA MEMBERS, SELF-IDENTIFIED WOMEN WITHIN CALIFORNIA
AND INVITED ARTISTS

July 25 through August 22, 2026

This exhibition invites artists to interpret GREEN in ways that are literal, symbolic, or metaphorical. Works explore environmental themes such as landscapes, ecological cycles, sustainability, climate change, or green energy; cultural and social associations referencing money, capitalism, greed, or movements tied to “green” ideals; emotional and psychological states portraying envy, or renewal, innocence, nostalgia, and healing; material explorations through the use of green pigments, recycled or “green” materials, or layered textures that evoke growth and decay; or conceptual approaches with abstract meditations on color, immersive works that dissolve boundaries between viewer and environment, or playful takes on the word itself. Alongside NCWCA members and California self-identified women, several invited artists contribute to this vibrant dialogue.
