History of WEOTA
In 1981, North Lake College Art Students formed a student art group and voted to call the group WEOTA, for "We Expose Ourselves to Art."

Purpose
The purpose of WEOTA is to promote the visual arts at North Lake College and to encourage students to participate in outside art-related activities, further their ideas and experience in art and to ...expose themselves to art...in and out of classes.

Membership
Membership is open to all students enrolled or interested in art at North Lake College. Students enrolled in an art class are automatically members and others are welcome to come to meetings or participate in activities. There are no dues.

WEOTA Student Officers
Each Fall semester officers are selected which include the following:    
President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Sales Coordinators, Publicity Officers

These students serve as a council with art faculty sponsors to make help set dates and policies related to student art activities outside the classroom. The WEOTA President or Vice President represent NLC art students in student leadership activities and meetings as needed. Officers along with sponsors help administer and maintain the WEOTA funds held through the campus Business Office.
