"What is Ladyfest?

Ladyfests are non-profit events organised mainly by women; they aim to showcase the talents of female artists and performers. The events are focused mainly on encouraging the talent of women and girls, but are open to everyone. Its roots are in the underground scene.

The first ever Ladyfest took place in Olympia, Washington in 2000. The following year similar events took place across the US (Ladyfest Midwest in Chicago and Ladyfest East in New York) and also in Glasgow, Scotland (Ladyfest Scotland).

We are artists making feminist noise from a grass-roots level. FemAdLib is not just an exhibition, it's activism. It's creating a space for explicit political feminist art...and a challenge to all sexist, heteronormative art/artists/collectors/curators out there.
