Summary of outcomes[edit]
2020 outcomes[edit]
- Events in 27 countries in all six inhabited continents
- Events in 20 languages
Narrative description[edit]
In light of the global pandemic of COVID-19, some of our scheduled events were able to pivot to virtual space, exhibiting a remarkable adaptability by various Art+Feminism edit-a-thons organizers. Thanks to this, successful virtual events were held in Armenia, Brazil, Poland, across the US and more. Unfortunately not all organizers were able to shift to in-person to virtual events and their planned activities were ultimately canceled. As we prepare for our 2020-2021 campaign, “business as usual” is not effective or appropriate as we continue to be in a global pandemic simultaneously with a civil rights movement. It’s been reported that in a recent study, the majority of people will not feel comfortable returning to museums until a vaccine for COVID-19 is widely available. The pandemic is allowing us to focus internally and be less number driven. We want to work on intentional care and deepen our relationships within our community.
Participants this year created articles for Irma Poma Canchumani, Mavi Doñate, Rhina Toruño, Group Material, Hertha Sponer, Marian Pastor Roces, Gabrielle L'Hirondelle Hill, Ingeborg Kahlenberg, People's Flag Show, Anne Marie Komissar, Kasturba Gandi, Guadalupe Rosales, Jota Mombaça, Bety Reis, Joana D'Arc da Silva Cavalcante, Djuena Tikuna, Olga Mariano, Lina Bögli and Anne Boyer, to name a few.
We also want to acknowledge and thank all the organizers and partners whose events, unfortunately, weren’t able to move forward this year as planned. We recognize and celebrate their labor and efforts, as well. We are truly thankful for our global community!

4,360 people attended 311 events around the world in 43 countries, which took place during the months of March and April. The goal of the Art+Feminism campaign is to bolster coverage of feminism, gender, and the arts on Wikipedia — as a response to the encyclopedia’s well-known content gaps.
Highlights of articles created and improved include Anni Albers, Winifred Hall Allen,, Mieke Bal, Deanna Bowen, Tania Bruguera, Jade Nasogaluak Carpenter, Elizabeth Catlett, Sarah Charlesworth, Sarah Charlesworth,, Che Gossett, Barbara Hammer, Nancy Holt, Holly Lee, Luanne Martineau, Haruko Okano, Judy Pfaff, Griselda Pollock, Gabriela Rodríguez, Leanne Simpson, and Women’s International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell.
This year, we saw a more than 300% increase in community across Facebook (86% growth) and Instagram (311% growth). We also made a major change to our communications and organizing strategy; launching the Gender and The Non-Binary campaign. The campaign facilitated greater growth and engagement among our digital communities due to the use of our hashtags #artandfeminism, #noweditingaf, and #beyondthebinary. Through the consistent use of the hashtag and our focus on engaging our online communities in conversation around their experiences related to gender equity, gender identity, women's rights, trans rights as human rights, and intersectional feminism we were able to amplify our messaging and reach.

2015 Outcomes
|

Granular results: Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism/Outcomes2015 Narrative description[edit]We had approximately 200 participants come through MoMA: librarians, academics, curators, artists, art lovers, feminists, male allies, experienced Wikipedians, etc. Trainings were held throughout the day, in multiple locations across three floors of the Department of Education. New and experienced editors worked in a variety spaces: the mezzanine level, two classrooms, the Time Warner theatre, multiple lounges, and the library. The day was marked by a spirit of collaboration, with spontaneous volunteering and enthusiastic team editing. There were over 75 events around the world, from small gatherings of friends to large groups at significant cultural institutions like LACMA, the Walker Art Center, and the Stedelijk Museum. We estimate that at least 400 new articles created, and another 500 articles with significant improvements. Please see below for the full list of nodes. A handful of the newly created articles include: Elise Forrest Harleston, Amy Maria Sacker, Janet Payne Bowles, Lisl Steiner, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Kali (fine artist), Betty G. Miller, Camille Henrot, Sarah McEneaney, Kyle DeWoody, Jennie C. Jones, and the Heresies Collective. Some of the improved articles include: Cecily Brown, Elaine de Kooning, Evelyn De Morgan, Carol Shaw (video game designer), Coco Fusco, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Valerie Hegarty, Yael Bartana, and Augusta Savage

2014 Outcomes
|
|---|
Narrative description[edit]We had 150 participants come through Eyebeam: librarians, academics, curators, artists, art lovers, feminists, male allies, experienced Wikipedians, etc. At the peak midway through, we ran out of chairs! At the start there was excitement in the air, along with some anxiety about the technicalities of editing Wikipedia, but after a series of 20 minute training sessions the participants got to work. A few hours in everything had gelled, and people were hard at work. It was such a good atmosphere. Many of the other locations described a similar experience. There were 30 satellite events around the world, with attendances ranging from 6 to 60. We know that there were at least 101 new articles created, and another 90 articles with significant improvements. We expect that number to rise, as a lot of work has yet to be accounted for, and it is going to take a few days (or more) to figure out exactly how much we accomplished. A handful of the initial list of 95 or so created articles includes: Mary Miss, Joan Semmel, Lisa Oppenheim, Frances Stark, Eve Mosher, Laurie Halsey Brown, Xaviera Simmons, Patti Warashina, Cosima von Bonin, Liza Bear, Lizzie Fitch, Senga Nengudi, Monika Bravo, and Zarina. The current list is here: Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism_2014/Outcomes The reason that we do not have exact numbers for articles created is that some new articles are stuck in the Articles for creation process, which can take up to 3 weeks. At the Eyebeam event we advocated skipping this process, and creating articles directly from red links. Additionally, many of the participants failed to record all the work they did on the results page despite our best efforts. This is somewhat inevitable. given there were 31 events, with roughly 600 participants. 2014 Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon events[edit]
