Art House is gearing up for Womens History Month as it hosts its Art+Feminism Art Talk and Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon on Wednesday, March 8 at 11 a.m. EST via Zoom.

Art House wont be alone for this as several universities will be joining in. Among the participants are Hudson County Community College, Seton Hall University, Paul Robeson Galleries at Express Newark, Rutgers University - Newark, and The Feminist Art Project, a program of the Rutgers Center for Women in the Arts and Humanities.

The Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon began in 2020. Those attending will learn how to edit and create Wikipedia pages for artists that are women, gender diverse, or people of color. The workshops goal is to amplify the voices of artists and cultural workers who are underrepresented in digital resources and the arts.

Since 2014, over 18,000 people at more than 1,260 events around the world have participated in edit-a-thons, resulting in the creation and improvement of more than 84,000 articles on Wikipedia and its sister projects, according to a press release from Wikipedia.

We are proud to partner again on this important virtual event supporting the worldwide movement to amplify gender diverse artists through Wikipedia, said Art House Producing Director Courtney Little. This is an incredible opportunity for community members to learn from each other and to enrich Wikipedia to include more voices and perspectives.

The event will feature closed captions autogenerated by Zoom. To request ASL interpreters, please email info@arthouseproductions.org at least 72 hours before the event. Free registration is available at https://bit.Ly/3tE8bYq. All are invited to register and edit or create a Wikipedia page for an artist.
