Show the World the Power of Women's Creativity!

Dear Women in the Arts & Media Coalit,

As usual, we are blown away by the talent and diversity of the women artists who are posting their events on our Support Women Artists Now Day/SWAN Day Calendar. At WomenArts we write and talk all the time about women artists being under-represented in the mainstream media, but there is nothing quite like the SWAN Day Calendar to show people how much they are missing!

Help us show the world the true power and diversity of women's creativity. Browse through the listings on the SWAN Day Calendar, and then add your voice by posting your arts events.

We will be featuring SWAN events from the calendar in our newsletters and Facebook page throughout March and April. Check out the events below for a small sample of the inspiring work that is being posted by women artists around the world.
