"Ladyfest South is a non-profit, Southern-based, four-day festival that showcases, celebrates, and promotes the artistic, organizational, and political talents of women in order to raise money for social service projects that assist women. Ladyfest South occurred in 2002 and 2004; and benefited organizations such as Project Safe in Athens, Georgia; Refuge House in Tallahassee, Florida; DeKalb Rape Crisis Center; Women's Resource Center to girl_singingEnd Domestic Violence; Youth Pride in Atlanta, Rock'n'Roll Camp for Girls, and Fund for Southern Communities.

Featuring talented women from diverse backgrounds, Ladyfest South includes live music, spoken word, theatre performances, visual art exhibits, films, workshops, and more. It is an empowering endeavor built upon a solid foundation of activism and education mixed with a little entertainment and fun.

Volunteer-driven and organized by women, Ladyfest South welcomes everyone-of all ages, genders, backgrounds and communities- to attend and participate.

The next Ladyfest South will occur when the next group of ladies picks up the torch. If you're interested find us over at MySpace under ladyfestsouth. As always, Thanks Y'all!" (http://www.soapboxsally.com/LFS/)
