Hello all from your friendly Women and Art SIG coordinator --- Please find below some information about an international Wikipedia edit-a-thon I am co-organizing with some wonderful colleagues. We're now in something like 15 different cities, and the more librarians, the merrier! Please feel free to get involved in any way you can. And if you have questions, you can also reach out to me directly... Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon Saturday, February 1, 2014 from 12-6 p.m. Eyebeam, 540 W 21st Street, NYC, and Multiple Locations Across the Globe and Online https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism Find it on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/events/1391632164423119/> Wikipedia's content and community skews male, creating significant gaps in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge. We invite you to address this absence in an all-day, communal updating of Wikipedia's entries on contemporary art and feminism. There will be tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, digital and print materials to reference, childcare for the little ones, and light refreshments provided. Attendees are encouraged to edit any entry of interest related to art, feminism, gender studies, and LGBTQ issues. All are welcome: women, woman-identified, queer, and their allies. Not in New York? Multiple satellite edit-a-thons will also happen simultaneously across North America and online. Confirmed events will take place at: de Appel in Amsterdam; University of Texas at Austin School of Information; Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum (co-hosted by Project Continua); Luke Lindoe Library at the Alberta College of Art and Design; Flaxman Library at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago; Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University Library;Women's Studio Workshop, Kingston, NY; The Public School, Los Angeles; University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Library & Information Studies; Eastern Block (co-hosted by Studio XX, revue .dpi and Skol), Montreal; University of the Arts' Greenfield Library, Philadelphia; State University of New York at Purchase; CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco; Art Metropole, Toronto; and National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, DC. For those looking to start editing early, try this tutorial<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Training/For_students> and sign in<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism#Confirmed_NYC_attendees> to the event. Childcare at the New York event requires advanced RSVP; please contact us<mailto:[log in to unmask]> to let us know the number of children requiring care, their ages, and what time you will be attending. If you would like to host an Edit-a-Thon, please join in. If you are looking for training materials or have questions, post on the talk page or contact the organizers<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. Eyebeam (http://eyebeam.org/) is an art and technology center that provides a fertile context and state-of-the-art tools for digital research and experimentation. It is a lively incubator of creativity and thought, where artists and technologists actively engage with culture, addressing the issues and concerns of our time. Eyebeam challenges convention, celebrates the hack, educates the next generation, encourages collaboration, freely offers its contributions to the community, and invites the public to share in a spirit of openness: open source, open content and open distribution. Organized by Siān Evans/Art Libraries Society of North America's Women and Art Special Interest Group, Jacqueline Mabey/The office of failed projects, Michael Mandiberg, and Laurel Ptak/Eyebeam Fellow, and Richard Knipel and Dorothy Howard (Metropolitan New York Library Council) of Wikimedia NYC.
