About

Our Mission

Nasty Women Connecticut builds inclusive platforms for community-building through the arts . We celebrate activism and resistance. We honor experience as a form of expertise. We understand art as a vehicle for storytelling. We demonstrate solidarity in the face of threats. We know that the highest art is that which invites complex thought, nuance, and opens the door to multiple perspectives.

Who We Are

NWCT is volunteer-run and led. Leadership changes each year under the care and uncompromising wisdom of Luciana McClure, Founding Organizer, who oversees NWCT’s social media activity and annual open call. Meet Lucy and some of our other organizers here.

Our Work

Through year-round event and exhibition planning, and resource exchange, we open the door for artists to connect with other artists, critical thinkers, community organizers, activists, groups and institutions.

Supporters

NWCT has been generously supported by an extraordinary community of people— first and foremost our volunteers, whose energy and belief keeps the tank full. We’re also grateful to past and current sponsors, including: The Arts Council of Greater New Haven, Friends of NWCT, The Institute Library, Yale University Divinity School, Ely Center of Contemporary Art, Artspace New Haven, and others.
