The Burchfield Penney Art Center is hosting a community edit-a-thon focused on Western New York women artists. Participants may choose to write on internationally regarded women artists in our Artpark collection, documenting their time at this historic, publicly-funded WNY public art residency program (1974-1990) in the Wikipedia record. 

The Burchfield will provide visual tutorials and technical assistance, hands-on archive research materials and citation practices, and a community space at the museum with light refreshments. You will learn how to responsibly document community events on Twitter (keyword: consent). You will learn how to produce archive-based histories and publish them on Wikipedia!

How to participate:

Attendees bring a laptop with power cord to the event. If available, please bring a hotspot or Buffalo State login information with you. We suggest attendees register for a Wikipedia account and a Twitter account before attending.

Participants must register by e-mailing gringha@buffalostate.edu to ensure your place. Please just e-mail us your name, age, and let us know you plan to attend. Registration will close when we reach legal capacity for our space, and we will let you know if your registration has been accepted or if we are at capacity.

We welcome people of all gender expressions and identities to participate. Content produced will concern women-identifying women on Wikipedia.
