Our Mission

Who We Are

FWCAA is managed by a board of volunteers who plan, produce, and support our featured programs on various content through lectures, field trips and a peer-led Study Series.

Membership in FWCAA is based on annual dues which defray operational costs supporting our program year from June to May.  Members wishing to attend a particular event pay an additional fee which covers the cost of the event venue, speaker, transportation, etc.  

We offer eclectic daytime programming throughout the year that includes lectures by well-known art historians, presentations by members with interest and expertise in specific aspects of the arts; opportunities to visit sites of artistic, cultural, or historic significance and access to exhibitions, museums, gardens, and galleries, among other events.

We currently have members from 33 western suburban communities.
