SWAN Day/Support Women Artists Now Day is a new international holiday that celebrates women artists. It is an annual event taking place on the last Saturday of Women’s History Month (March).

By focusing attention on the work of women artists, SWAN Day helps people imagine what the world might be like if women’s art and perspectives were fully integrated into all of our lives. People celebrate this new holiday by participating in SWAN Day events and by making donations to their favorite women artists. 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.

Anyone can plan a SWAN Day event! These events can be performances, exhibits, rallies, parades, auctions, or other activities that draw attention to women artists or raise money for women artists in your community.

The Fund for Women Artists provides free logos, tips on organizing and fundraising for your event, an interactive map showing SWAN Day events all over the world, and general support.

Whether you want to organize an event, attend an event that’s already planned, or just get together with friends to recognize your favorite women artists, we hope you’ll join us in celebrating SWAN Day 2009!
