Tomorrow, Saturday, March 29, has been designated SWAN Day (Support Women in the Arts Now Day) by The Fund for Women Artists, a San Francisco based non-profit arts organization which aims to help women artists acquire resources for creative work.
30 U.S. states and 10 countries will be hosting SWAN-related events ranging from a documentary film screening in San Francisco to a four-day SWAN Day festival in Berlin and a Celebration of Craftswomen bazaar in India.
You might be pleased to hear that the city of Martinez is joining in on the action with an arts event at the Martinez Opera which is located at 908 Ferry Street.
More than three dozen Contra Costa and Solano County artists will be displaying (and selling) their paintings, jewelry and crafts.
The free event will be held from noon-5 p.m. and all sale proceeds will go directly to the artists.
