Guide to the California Institute of the Arts Feminist Art Materials Collection 1971-2007 bulk 1972-1977.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/778906878

The California Institute of the Arts Feminist Art Materials Collection contains articles, brochures, correspondence, exhibition catalogs, invoices, newsletters, and other materials documenting the influence of feminist art on CalArts. The collection covers the years 1971 to 2007 with the bulk of the material ranging from 1972 to 1977. The collection consists primarily of materials related to CalArts' Feminist Art Program (FAP). However, materials related to other feminist art programs and events, including the Women's Design Program and the Feminist Studio Workshop (FSW), are also included. The largest series in the collection, Publications, is divided into two series. The first series in comprised of materials published by CalArts while the second series consists of materials published by outside publishers. In addition to factual information about various feminist art programs and events, the Publications series also gives insight into perspectives on feminist art from the opinions of program participants, other CalArts students, and individuals not associated with the institution. The Events series consists of materials related to feminist art events such as exhibits, symposiums, and workshops. However, this collection does not include documentation for every feminist event related to CalArts. Likewise, the administrative records are not comprehensive as they focus mainly on the sale of Feminist Art Program publications. Due to the large amount of duplication within the collection and the scattered nature of the materials, this collection was reorganized during processing to bring consistency to its arrangement and to improve research access.
