Dear New York City Wikimedians,
I am excited to announce that there are three Art + Feminism Edit-a-thons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism being organized in the New York City metropolitan area for the weekend of International Womens Day: Brooklyn Museum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/ArtAndFeminism_Brooklyn_2015 (March 7th), MoMA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/ArtAndFeminism/MoMA_2015 (March 7th), and Babycastles Gallery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/ArtAndFeminism/Babycastles_2015 (where we held the December meeting), (March 8th).
We are working with multiple organizations to secure enough attending venue volunteers for these events with a special focus on MoMA as this will be the largest NY event (250 capacity) and have already confirmed a handful, including Wikipedians trained at our "Train-the-Trainers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/ArtAndFeminism_Training_Feb2015" events, held over the past few months.
But we can’t do this without New York City Wikipedians and we hope you will join us to help work one-on-one with event attendees and offer other in-person Wikipedia support.
If you are able to come to the events on March 7th and/or 8th please email me back and RSVP as we are trying to get a count of volunteers before the date. If you know which event you will attend, or could go wherever needed, let us know that in your email as well. We are also looking for people to Tweet about the event, so if social media is an interest of yours, you can include this on the email as well.
Thanks again for your continue support. We are super excited about the events gearing up for International Women’s Day weekend. After the event at MoMA, we will also be having a reception with cake and light fare to thank everyone for coming out.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Best wishes,
Dorothy Howard + Siân Evans + Michael Mandiberg + Richard Knipel
Hi Dorothy, So I was planning to go to MOMA on the 7th but seeing as how there is now a Brooklyn Museum date, I will likely do that instead. I will however double check with the AfroCROWD ppl who told me they would attend MOMA and see if they will come with me to BK museum instead.
For now I am RSVP'd on both pages until I sort it out.
Best, A
