Introduction to SWAN Day
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 March (Women’s History Month) and the surrounding weeks.
The official date of the Fifth International SWAN Day is Saturday,
March 31, 2012, and it will also be celebrated throughout the months of March and April 2012.
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.
There have been over 700 SWAN Day events in 21 countries in the first four years of SWAN Day. To see a list of the 2011 events, please click here: List of SWAN Day 2011 Events>>
