"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).

Ladyfest South Atlanta happened from 25th to 28th of January 2007.

"Ladyfest Baltimore is a grassroots community-based movement created by and for women to present, celebrate, and encourage women's artistic, entrepreneurial, and cultural achievements. This festival will happen through a series of volunteer-coordinated events, which will feature skill shares, workshops, speakers, music, visual/performance art, film, writings, and other forms of self expression. The proceeds will be donated to various women empowering organizations in Baltimore. There will be numerous opportunities for people to organize, volunteer and participate.

It is a dedicated space for womyn, queer, and gender non-conforming people, especially of color and youth to come together to showcase their art, music, films, and skills to build a self-reliant community through skills/knowledge sharing and breaking our dependency on systems that oppress us. – Lady Fest L.A. 2009
