contributors identify as female.  Since 2014, over 7,000 people at more
than 500 events around the world have participated in Art+Feminism’s
Edit-a-thons, resulting in the creation and improvement of more than 11,000
articles on Wikipedia. Foreign Policy Magazine named the founders Leading
Global Thinkers and the project has received almost $200,000 in grant
funding. Art+Feminism has also received coverage from Artforum, The New
York Times, The New Yorker, CBC, Canadian Art, and the BBC.The ideal
