On Sunday morning, join the Art and Feminism Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon at 11 am. Art and Feminism is a campaign for improving the coverage of women and the arts on Wikipedia.

Beginners and experts alike are welcome; training for new Wikipedia editors will be offered at noon and 2 pm. Bring your laptop and any reference material you'd like to use.
