Virginia Museum of Fine Arts' Women Artists Wikipedia Editing Workshop

Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women.

Let’s change that.

Join us at Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, 200 N. Boulevard Richmond, Virginia USA, on March 21st from 11 am to 3 pm for an all day communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to gender, art and feminism. We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian and reference materials.

Bring your laptop, power cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. For the editing-averse, we urge you to stop by to show your support. Childcare requires advanced RSVP; please contact us at kristin.alexander@vmfa.museum and let us know the first names and number of children requiring care, their ages, and what time you plan on attending. We invite people of all gender identities and expressions to participate, particularly transgender and cisgender women.

Please create a Wikipedia account before the event. You can learn how to do that HERE
