It serves to unite women artists with their audiences and supporters, and to create a powerful alliance to ensure women’s voices are heard. “The focus of this day is to celebrate the women artists who are creating change in their communities and around the world", said Martha Richards, the co-founder of SWAN Day. The annual, world-wide event is organized by The Fund for Women Artists, a San Francisco based non-profit arts organization that offers networking, fundraising and advocacy services to over 500,000 visitors a year. It is founded on the belief that women artists have the power to change the way women are perceived in our society and is dedicated to helping women artists get the resources they need to do their creative work. ABOUT pdxCreativeXchange pdxCreativeXchange is a free on-line resource and monthly networking community for professional women who work in Portland’s cultural and creative arts. This community serves as a “brain trust” and “wisdom pool” where members can safely exchange information, foster conversations, create agendas, provide support and form a powerful community for personal growth and professional development.
