"Swan Song"

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 Third International SWAN Day is Saturday, March 27, 2010, but it is celebrated throughout the months of March and April. 

By focusing attention on the work of women artists, 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. There were over 170 SWAN Day 2009 events in 12 countries.
