The Women's Caucus for Art in conjunction with SOMArts Cultural Center present an exhibition titled "CONTROL", showcasing 94 works by 79 California women artists. Curated by Karen Gutfreund and juried by Guerrilla Girls West.

Organized around the theme of control (or lack of it), the show explores the artists interpretation of all methods of control: internal, external, positive, negative, over life events and over technology, empowering or dehumanizing, politically correct - or not.
