MOCA will host a variety of related programs in conjunction with the exhibition, including an in-depth lecture series, round-table discussions, workshops, an extensive film series, and an independent website. Taken as a whole, the components of this project will initiate new dialogue about feminist art and will provide a forum for scholarly reconsideration of one of the most influential movements in American art of the postwar period.

WACKsite
The exhibition will be accompanied by the WACKsite, a community driven component of www.moca.org dedicated to enriching viewers - understanding of the exhibition and its many supporting programs. Utilizing the blog format, the WACKsite will be a collaborative environment for consciousness-raising and discussion. Members of the general public, artists, and authors are invited to participate in this discourse by posting responses to artworks and themes in the exhibition, and by expressing their reactions to other supporting programs. The WACKsite can be accessed at www.moca.org/wack!
