Consists of articles of incorporation, budgets, bylaws, correspondence, flyers, journals, ledgers, legal documents, lists, magazine articles, minutes, mission statements, newsletters, newspaper clippings, notes, organizational documents, press releases, proposals, reports, rosters, and tax records. This collection is of value to researchers studying women's groups and art organizations in the greater Cleveland, Ohio, area as well as the role of modern and feminist art in American society in the late 20th century. Those interested in sexuality and gender, women's history, visual arts, women's organizations, art history, feminism, modern art, feminist art, community organizations, and museum studies will also find this collection useful. The Ohio-Chicago Arts Project (O-CAP) contains materials which highlight the formation of a small, local, arts-based organization and to a more significant extent the logistics of funding and arranging the exhibition of a large-scale, controversial work of art. Additionally the collection provides important insights into the large number of women's agencies which collaborated to bring "The Dinner Party" to northeast Ohio, including the YWCA -- Akron Rape Crisis Center, Women's Network, Western Reserve Girl Scout Council, and Akron's Battered Women's Shelter.
