SWAN Day (Support Women Artists Now!)

Support Women Artists Now Day is a new international holiday celebrating women artists. Saturday, March 29, 2008 has been designated for the first SWAN DAY which thereafter will take place annually during Women's History Month on the last Saturday in March.

"As a symbol of international solidarity, there will be
events all over the world featuring women artists on
SWAN Day. The public will be encouraged to attend
these events and to make donations to their favorite
women artists.

By focusing attention on the work of women artists,
SWAN Day will help people imagine what the world
might be like if women’s art and perspectives were
fully integrated into all of our lives. The long term
goal of SWAN Day is to inspire communities
around the world to find new ways to recognize and
support women artists as a basic element of civic
planning."
