Walsh Library and Walsh Gallery Host Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon  

Picture of Walsh LibraryOn Wednesday, February 26th 11 a.m.–3 p.m., Walsh Library and the Walsh Gallery host Seton Hall’s first ever Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon. This event is held in conjunction with the Gregory Coates exhibition showing at the Walsh Gallery through March 6th, and is co-sponsored by The Feminist Art Project at Rutgers University. Art + Feminism is a non-profit organization that provides educational resources on the gender gap in both art history and criticism and in Wikipedia editing.

Attendees of the Edit-a-Thon will be provided with a list of artists selected from Rutgers' Miriam Shapiro Archive on Women Artists who do not have Wikipedia pages or have incomplete Wikipedia entries. With instruction, attendees will learn how to become Wikipedians (editors of Wikipedia) during the course of the workshop and will be encouraged to use their new skills to create or edit a Wikipedia page. This event is designed to be flexible so participants may drop-in, but we do ask that you register in advance, if possible.

When: Wednesday, February 26th 11 a.m.–3 p.m.
Where: Beck Rooms A/B | Walsh Library | 1st Floor
