Wednesday, March 30, 11am-1pm, OSU Fine Arts Library [located on the lower level of the Wexner Center for the Arts], 1871 N. High St.

Join University Libraries for the fourth annual “Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon” at The Ohio State University.

Despite its wide reach, Wikipedia suffers from a severe gender gap: the online encyclopedia has fewer and less extensive articles on women and queer artists. This inclusive event is dedicated to improving coverage of gender, feminism, and the arts on Wikipedia. On March 30, we invite you to join us in person to edit Wikipedia and hear from our invited speaker. If you can’t make it in person, we invite you to edit throughout the day and contribute to closing the information gap online. No experience is necessary!

The Fine Arts Library at Ohio State is located on the lower level of the Wexner Center for the Arts and is not accessible through the main entrance. Our door is located at the end of the outdoor corridor near Arps Hall.
