Committee on Women in the Arts
Annual Recognition Awards
From 1996 to 2008, the Committee on Women in the Arts held an Annual Recognition Awards Ceremony at the CAA Annual Conference. At its October 2007 meeting, the CAA Board of Directors voted to establish a twelfth Award for Distinction, the Distinguished Feminist Award, which honors a person who, through his or her art, scholarship, or advocacy, has advanced the cause of equality for women in the arts. The Distinguished Feminist Award replaces the committee’s Annual Recognition Award.
