Article Draft
Article is written based on what I think should be included in the mainspace.

The success of Art+Feminism comes from the collective efforts of individuals from various backgrounds such as scholars, Wikipedians, and librarians. These individuals play major roles in pushing their efforts, as society's further growing interest in gender equality within the technological sector. The importance of addressing issues relating closely to gender also aligns closely with the goals of Art+Feminism.

Establishment
Efforts are being made to advocate and better the representation of not only cisgender women but there is also a push to include the voices of transgender and non-binary identifying individuals. There is also an emphasis to specifically fill content gaps on topics on the arts and feminism.

Events
Events continuously grow and take place in countries in various continents all over the world.

Annually, many academic institutions in the United States hold Art+Feminism edit-a-thon events, pushing to encourage more women to edit on Wikipedia. These edit-a-thon events take place as collective workshops where students are encouraged to meet up together to edit in a collective space, whether in person or through virtual chatrooms. Some of these institutions that participate in the Art+Feminism movement include Southern Methodist University, Ohio University , Yale University , University of Nevada , and Cornell University.

Various forms of events are open to being held by anybody, which can include edit-a-thons, panels/conversations, and meet ups. These organized events can be held in virtual or in-person formats to encourage accessibility of engagement. Each event has its regulated guidelines stated by the organization. Events typically concentrate annually in March, which is Women's History Month, but their campaign lasts year-round.

Reception
In March 2017, Abigail Cain wrote on Artsy and spoke about how this initiative is impactful and powerful it is to incentivize women to come together to become editors and improve articles. Cain also notes how Art+Feminism has globally grown as a whole and that Art+Feminism events are being organized by large museums and art organizations.
