The Feminist Art Project is a collaborative national initiative celebrating the Feminist Art Movement and the aesthetic, intellectual and political impact of women on the visual arts,art history and art practice, past and present. The Feminist Art Project is a strategic intervention against the ongoing erasure of women from the cultural record. The Feminist Art Project re-focuses public attention on the signal achievements of the Feminist Art Movement and shines a spotlight on current feminist art influences, trends and accomplishments. How does The Feminist Art Project accomplish this? The Feminist Art Project (TFAP) promotes diverse feminist art events, education and publications through its website calendar. Website visitors can find exhibitions, lectures, artist talks, classes, films and other art related activities in their area or to include in their travel plans. TFAP preserves all calendar listings in the TFAP virtual archives and requests documentation from calendar participants to add to its physical archive. TFAP facilitates regional networking and program development throughout the U.S. by linking visitors to TFAP Regional Coordinators. Regional coordinators and groups across the country work with artists, teachers, writers, curators and venues to develop and promote feminist art events. Interested web-visitors can learn how to become involved with The Feminist Art Project in their own communities by contacting a coordinator in their region. TFAP maintains a Timeline on its web site for visitors to learn about historic anniversaries in the Feminist Movement in art and other events in world history that impacted Feminist Art. Does TFAP promote individual artists on the web site?
TFAP does not promote the work of individual artists on its web site, but rather encourages artists to post their exhibitions, lectures performances and other art-related activities on the TFAP on-line calendar. Who is eligible to be included on the TFAP event calendar?
The Feminist Art Project aims to effect permanent change by focusing on the impact of feminism on the art world, feminist content in art, and feminist analysis in art and art history and other cultural arenas.

All visual art media are eligible for inclusion. Are there any fees?
