Works by Melissa Martinez will be at SWAN Day Miami

I always love reading the listings that people submit for our SWAN Day Calendar because they give me a snapshot of a world that I do not see in the news. The papers are full of endless violence and discord, but SWAN Day lets me see a world of women who continue to dream and create in spite of all that chaos. My SWAN Day wish is that you will look at the list of events below and see that world too.

On SWAN Day we celebrate our global unity and also the unique individual voices of the women artists next door. There are thousands of talented women artists all over the world who are making wonderful contributions to their communities year after year. SWAN Day is a day to recognize and thank these women.

Please take some time to make a direct connection with at least one woman artist on SWAN Day. Talk to her in person, give her a call, write her a note, or send her a gift – do anything that shows that you appreciate her creativity. There is tremendous power in these simple acts of respect and recognition, and they provide models of the supportive attitudes and behavior that we want to spread around the world.

Thanks so much to all of you for making SWAN Day 2016 a wonderful success.  We encourage you to seek out the work of women artists on SWAN Day and every day. Together we will build a world where women artists get the respect they deserve.

Sending Lots of SWAN Love to All of You,
Martha Richards, Executive Director, WomenArts
