History
The Women's Art Resource Centre (WARC) was a nonprofit, artist run organization founded in 1984 in Toronto, Ontario with the goal of addressing the effacement of women from art history.
Dedicated to advancing contemporary Canadian women's art practice and recognition, WARC's activities included establishing gallery spaces and organizing exhibitions, public discussions and educational programming, professional development opportunities, conferences, the publication of Matriart magazine (1990-[1999?]), a survey of gender representation at the National Gallery of Canada (“Who Counts and Who’s Counting”), as well as the development of a Curatorial Research Library documenting women artists. WARC was dissolved in 2015.
