Hello,
Thanks for writing in.
I expect that different people can contribute different parts of this, but to start, are you able to secure a location? When do you expect to confirm one?
You say that you are a library student. It helps at these events if someone is able to bring curated information to the event which would be good to share, like books or articles which can be cited. Are you able to collect a few books and papers to recommend for people who need source information to develop articles? If you can do that, then that firms up the theme of the event.
Thanks for speaking up.
yours,

Dear Cascadian Wikimedians,
Hi! I recently joined the group and wanted to introduce myself: my name is Luiza, I'm a library and information science grad student at the UW in Seattle. Originally from Brazil, I have a background in Art Librarianship and a particular interest in computer-supported collaboration tools (even though my Wikipedia editing skills are still very rough).
I’m planning on organizing an Art+Feminism edit-a-thon at the UW in early March (the 4th or the 11th, depending on confirmation of the location). As a way to make the event salient to our community, the idea is to focus on editing entries related to Indigenous art and Indigenous women artists. I’d love to enlist your expertise in organizing the event and invite the group to be an affiliated sponsor.
Please let me know if you are interested in getting involved. Any suggestions and recommendations are more than welcome!
Warm regards,
