What-The CalArts Feminist Art Program was founded by Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro and offered classes about women's art exclusively for women, and was taught by women ("California"). This program created a work of protest art called "Womanhouse" created to “provide a better understanding of women artists by themselves and by the predominately male art community" ("California").
When-The Feminist Art Program was founded in 1971, and the "Womanhouse" art piece was shown in 1972, and the program existed until 1975 ("California").
Where-The CalArt campus moved to Valencia, California in 1971, and the "Womanhouse" exhibit was in Los Angeles, California ("California") .
Proof of Identity: In art, like in most fields, the work of women has been considered less than the work of men. Women founding an art program for other women in which they create art about themes and issues of women, is a protest very focused around the identity of women, specifically women artists.

New Protest Place Assignment:
Places significant for my protest are the California Institute of the Arts College in Valencia, California, and the house in Los Angeles California where the "Womanhouse" art piece was held ("California").
The California Institute of the Arts College did not have a women's art program before this program was founded ("California").
One of the intentions of this protest was to change how women's art was important in a male art community, and the California Institute of Art is now well known for this protest, so I believe it did change the place.
