WCA NATIONAL NEWS
The WCA Art Writers Committee was formed in June of 2020 by Past President Margo Hobbs as a way of enhancing the visibility of writers in the organization. The committee has been instrumental in the relaunch of Artlines as a substantive arts journal. Credit is also due to former WCA President Susan King for starting the process to refocus Artlines into an arts journal during her term.
