Women in the Arts Committee

​The Women in the Arts Committee provides opportunities for members to participate in a variety of artistic endeavors, such as the Visual Arts Display at conventions or the annual Texas art retreat (STAR). The WIA also guides development of activities related to the arts, such as the convention Student Art Gallery, which features collaboration with TSO, the local school district, art teachers, students, and parents. WIA is a member of the Educational Excellence Committee.
WIA Goals:
  • Serve as a resource to help chapters develop programs, projects, fundraisers, and recruitment strategies related to the arts.
  • Encourage members to submit their creative pieces to the DKG Arts and Humanities Gallery.
  • Encourage the establishment of WIA committees at the chapter level.
  • Celebrate the accomplishments of talented members in the arts.
  • Encourage collaboration with schools to support/sponsor community events related to the arts.
