Fine Art Edit-a-Thon
The Fine Art Edit-a-Thon will be held on Saturday, December 17, 2011 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library (DCPL) at the Library Lab.


 * When
 * Saturday, December 17, 2011
 * 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.


 * Where
 * Martin Luther King Jr Memorial Library (DC Public Library) at the Library Lab
 * 9th & G St NW, near the Gallery Place-Chinatown metro

The Fine Art Edit-a-Thon will be an opportunity to encourage Wikipedians of all experience levels to work together and independently to document artists and artwork related to the Federal Art Project, specifically subjects related to the Archives of American Art's recent image contribution on Commons.
 * What
 * Check out this "to-do" list of article suggestions: Meetup/DC 26/To-do list

 * Contribute to existing articles or write new articles in whatever language.
 * Help your fellow contributors out - lend a hand when needed and help out new editors!
 * Even if you don't feel like writing about art, we welcome you to come.

This will be a great chance to bring a friend and share with them your love for editing. Wikipedians of all experience levels welcome.
