WCA’s Lifetime Achievement Awards were first awarded in 1979 in President Jimmy Carter’s Oval Office to Isabel Bishop, Selma Burke, Alice Neel, Louise Nevelson, and Georgia O'Keeffe. For many of the awardees, the WCA is the most significant recognition of their achievements. The awards are always an inspiring and moving experience.
