"ACCESS-An Ordinary Notion" National Juried Exhibition Sponsored by NCWCA

It has been 100 years since the introduction of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). This exhibition is in honor of Alice Paul, suffragist, who re-wrote the amendment in 1943 expanding the language to be more in line with recently passed legislation. Dubbed the ‘Alice Paul Amendment,’ the new amendment stated, ‘Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.’ The 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote, ratified in 1920, is the only mention of the word ’woman’ in the U.S. Constitution. The only right guaranteed to women by federal law is the right to vote. The Equal Rights Amendment, giving women equal rights, has yet to be ratified.

With “ACCESS-An Ordinary Notion,” we seek artworks that tell individual stories and advocate for social justice and human rights. We are committed to amplifying a wide variety of voices and viewpoints as we strive for peace using art as a visual narrative. “ACCESS-An Ordinary Notion” will showcase art in all media that speak to and illuminate the ongoing conversation around race, women’s and LGBTQIA+ rights, reproductive rights, disparities in global wealth, power, access to food, water, shelter, education, health services, child and elder care, along with immigration issues, climate change, and criminal (in)justice in the modern world.

We are proud to announce that the Alice Paul Institute and the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House are partnering with NCWCA for this meaningful and timely National Juried Exhibition.
