Seeking volunteer board member to work with our energetic and fun womens' artist collective to write grants and seek funds for online and grounded arts programing.

Mission Statement
WEAD is a network of feminist ecoartists, educators, curators and writers working toward the goal of a just and healthy world. We focus on women’s unique perspective in ecological and social justice art. WEAD's purpose is to provide information regarding the ecoart and social justice art fields to artists, curators, writers, art and public art administrators, educators in art and ecology, cross-disciplinary professionals and others. To facilitate international networking among artists working with ecological and social justice issues. To further the fields of, and the understanding of environmental and social justice art.
Description
In 1996 Jo Hanson, Susan Leibovitz Steinman and Estelle Akamine created WEAD in response to increasing requests for artist referrals and for designing ecoart exhibits and programs. Word-of-mouth networking started in January, by WEAD’s presentation in March at the Regional N. CA. Women’s Caucus for the Arts, there were 100+ listing artists. From 1996 to 2004, with 200+ listees, editions were labor intensive cut-and-paste, xerox editions. Today, more than 600 artists have portfolios on our website, which serves as a historical repository of the social justice and eco art.
WEAD does not proscribe to a single definition for ecofeminism or ecoart, nor one set of cultural, political, or social beliefs. Instead, WEAD celebrates a spectrum of differences under the colorful collective umbrella called ecofeminist art.
WEAD hosts member exhibitions, online and in galleries, throughout the year, with published catalogs and accompanying artist talks. We also facilitate online educational events, recordings of which are available on our website, and in-person, hands-on workshops. Each year, we publish WEAD Magazine, which provides insights into artist's processes in the context of art history, ecology and social justice. Check us out at weadartists.org.
