Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Art and Feminism DC2020

 Join us for...



All edit-a-thons associated with the DC Art and Feminism 2020 campaign were recently cancelled or postponed due to the Covid-19 outbreak, but it's not too late to help us reach some of the campaign's goals.

Each participating institution has identified three articles that they would like to see created or improved over the next few weeks. We invite you to access and edit the articles on the work list via the Outreach Dashboard.**

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!
