Please join the Fine Arts Library at IUB and the Art+Feminism campaign to improve coverage of women and the arts on Wikipedia, and to encourage female editorship. We invite people of all gender identities and expressions!

 

Last year, over 1500 participants at more than 75  events around the world participated in the second annual Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, resulting in the creation of nearly 400 new pages and significant improvements to 500 articles on Wikipedia. Help us contribute to this growing movement!

 

Librarians will be available to provide training and reference sources to assist contributors in adding and improving the Wikipedia entries for women artists – and particularly Indiana artists.

 

Free parking is available at the various garages on campus, the Jordan garage is the closest to the Wells Library. This event is free and open to the public and food, snacks, bottled water, and coffee will be provided.

 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or if you are planning to participate!
