Hi all,

Please join us for an exciting series of edit-a-thons in February and March! Feel free to share with relevant lists. Note that sign up in advance is required for most events.

Art + Feminism DC 2020 Wikipedia Edit-a-thons

The year 2020 marks a turning point in history for American women, and to celebrate the anniversary of the 19th Amendment, Washington D.C. cultural organizations have joined together to host a series of Wikipedia edit-a-thons during Women's History month. This coordinated series of events is in conjunction with the Art+Feminism campaign to address gender gaps in content and participation on the encyclopedia, especially related to art and artists.

Join DC arts and cultural organizations for in-depth or behind-the-scenes tours of relevant exhibitions, the chance to learn more about women artists from around the world, and the opportunity to help tip the gender imbalance. Smithsonian Libraries staff members have helped plan several of these edit-a-thons and we hope to see you there!
