RSVP
Attendees
We will need a list of attendees before the event. While you do not have to be a woman in order to attend, the event will be focused on encouraging women editors and working on articles related to women in the visual arts.
Volunteers should feel free to add the names of notable women in the arts who need a better Wikipedia presence, especially ones whose articles could be improved by the inclusion of research resources from the Smithsonian or National Museum of Women in the Arts. The list is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to provide a starting point for work by edit-a-thon participants. If you are not sure where to start, don't hesitate to ask for help!
Existing articles in need of improvement or expansion
Artists from WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution
The following list of artists had their works exhibited at WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution (presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles from 4 March - 16 July 2007) but do not have Wikipedia articles.
Numerous works of art appear on the
American Art Museum website, though many have copyright restrictions. If you have questions about the specifics of using a particular image, talk to SAAM staff.
