Wikipedia:Meetup/Rochester/ArtAndFeminism 2016

Part of the programming for the exhibition Amanda Curreri: The Calmest of Us Would Be Lunatics, Rochester Art Center is proud to be a participating site in the 2016 Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon! Join us for an all-day communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism! We will provide tutorials for beginner Wikipedians, reference materials, and refreshments.



We will be focusing specifically on the creation of a page for Rochester-based artist Judy Onofrio, an internationally known mosaic artist and sculptor.

Event information

 * Date: Saturday, March 5, 2016
 * Time: noon – 5 p.m. CST
 * Organizers: Rochester Art Center
 * Location: PROJECT Feminist Space, Second Floor, 40 Civic Center Drive S.E., Rochester, MN 55904
 * What to bring: Your self, your own laptop computer, and any reference materials (books, etc) that you think would be useful.

Please RSVP through our Facebook event.

Don't have a computer? Not to worry! Past Art + Feminism Edit-a-thons have found that team editing with multiple folks who have specific roles (someone looking in the books, and reading source citation info, for example, while someone inputs the information on the computer, etc.) is very effective, so we'll pair you with a team.

Afterwards, celebrate a collaborative and productive day of continuing to increase Wikipedia's reflection of the voices of women, and join us on the Art Bus to St. Paul, where we'll attend the grand finale of The Guerrilla Girls Twin Cities Takeover, at the State Theatre!
