User:Kellaenoptera/Art and Feminism March 2015 meetup

Join us at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Education and Research Building at the Museum of Modern Art, 4 West 54 Street, on Saturday, March 7, 2015 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for an all day communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism. We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, reference materials, childcare, and refreshments. Bring your laptop, power cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. For the editing-averse, we urge you to stop by to show your support. Childcare requires advanced RSVP; please contact us at info@art.plusfeminism.org and let us know the first names and number of children requiring care, their ages, and what time you plan on attending. Women, women-identified, and male allies welcomed.

Not in New York? We encourage you to address Wikipedia’s gender gap by organizing satellite edit-a-thons over International Women’s Day weekend, March 7-8, 2014. Confirmed satellite edit-a-thon hosts include: Morton R Godine Library at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Boston; F/LAT, Brussels, Belgium; Los Angeles County Museum of Art in collaboration with East of Borneo; Canadian Women's Art History Initiative, Concordia University and Eastern Bloc, Montreal; Fondation Galeries Lafayette, Paris; Albert M. Greenfield Library at University of the Arts, Philadelphia; Library and Archives of Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C.; College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA; a Google Hangout with Addie Wagenknecht, and many more in development. There are funds available for satellite events for childcare, refreshments, and travel grants. Those interested in organizing a satellite event are encouraged to contact us via email at info@art.plusfeminism.org.
