We're halfway through March which means halfway through FemFest's #PortraitsOfFemme programming. FemFest is a platform for femmes, trans, GNC, women, non-binary and BIPOC, honoring the reclamation of power for those who have been historically excluded from, or not had, creative spaces!


Through collaborative planning & execution with a diverse host of women/femme-identifying & nonbinary leaders in local arts scenes, FemFest will optimize its platform for Women’s History Month with “Portraits of Femme.”

We wanted to follow up with a few new events, and remind you all of the rest of this months initiatives:

  • Open Call #Portraits of Femme, All Month | CopyWrite Magazine is hosting videos that people submit through the FemFest website. It's our hope that #PortraitsOfFemme gives a platform to everyone included in FemFest's mission. Participants will be able to take part informally by sharing their art with the inclusion of tagged content on Instagram. By tagging @rwfemfest & @copywritemag, along with the hashtag #PortraitsOfFemme artists’ will have their creations re-shared across multiple platforms.



  • March 25th, 6 PM CST | Ms. Lotus Fankh is hosting a panel discussion around the topic Impact & Importance of Women in Music. This event will stream live on Facebook from the Ms. Lotus Fankh and the FemFest pages. Join in to listen to members of Women in Music Chicago, Girls Rock MKE, Revolution Ready, founding members of FemFest, and other women centered organizations discuss the impact and importance of women in music.

  • March 26th, 5 PM CST | Additionally, the FemFest audience will be encouraged to view the March 26th session of Grace Weber’s Music Lab on Facebook Live, featuring Tiffany Miranda; the founder of Girls Make Beats.

  • March 28th, 7 PM CST | Cactus Club Moving Image Series welcomes guest programmer Britany Gunderson who has organized the third Femfest Video Showcase. This year the showcase will be available virtually for one week through Vimeo & cactusclubmilwaukee.com.
