The Vancouver 2015 Art + Feminism editathon is shaping up to be a major event! Hosted and supported by the University of British Columbia (UBC), the Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG), and Emily Carr University, the events will be happening at all three locations, spread over the week of March 2-8. We will be starting off with two information sessions at the VAG and UBC, then three days of editing at Emily Carr and UBC.
