Dear GLAM mailing list members,

We hope this email finds you well! We are the lead co-organizers of the Art+Feminism, a campaign to improve coverage of women and the arts on Wikipedia, and encourage female editorship. We are writing to share some details about the 3rd annual Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon.

As a bit of background on us: last year, over 1500 participants at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and more than 75 node events around the world participated in the second annual Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, resulting in the creation of nearly 400 new pages and significant improvements to 500 articles on Wikipedia. We are hoping to double these results in 2016, and would love to have the GLAM Consortium involved.

The central New York event of the 2016 Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon will take place at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Education and Research Building at MoMA, 4 West 54 Street, on Saturday, March 5, 2016. Node events will take place over the weekend of March 4th-6th; there is funding available for childcare and refreshments. Please contact us at info@art.plusfeminism.org for more details.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Siân Evans + Jacqueline Mabey + Michael Mandiberg
