In March 2023, we are once again collaborating with theArt+Feminism community as an online node supporting a focus on women, activism and the arts. As well as painters, artists may include furniture makers and designers, weavers, glass artists, embroiderers, installation artists and printmakers.

TheRenwick Gallery is celebrating its 50th year as the Smithsonian Institution's "gallery of arts, craft and design." In the spirit ofcelebration of craft, we encourage you to explore the lists of craftspeople likethis one, orbook artists. Other suggestions can be found in the lists below.

Anyone can take part in this event. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women, as well as their achievements, writings, organizations and awards. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to participate in our initiative. Contributors are of course also welcome to add articles on any other notable women who deserve to be covered, for example under our #1day1woman priority.

The main goals of the event are:

• to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of some of the world's most prominent women
• to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action on a specific area
• to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
• to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter)
