FemFest goes Digital with #PortraitsOfFemme [for Women's History Month]
/We are excited to announce CopyWrites continued collaboration with FemFest with 2021 digital programing #PortraitsOfFemme
In the past, Femfest has put together week-long celebrations showcasing music, poetry, visual art, theatre, workshops and more! As the length of the Pandemic continues to extend, Riverwest FemFest opts to safely continue it’s unifying mission to empower communities through the celebration of art in the form of digital content. For those unfamiliar with us - 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.”
This unique endeavor is set to take place throughout the month of March, with an array of events & creative sharing opportunities rooted in curated & community-based involvement. Here's a run down of events:
March 2nd, 6 PM CST | FemFest collabs with Erin Wolf of 91.7 WMSE, to present a “Portraits of Femme” Local/Live program. The segment will feature music & an interview with up & coming artist-producer-musician, Trinity Grace.
March 8th, 6 PM CST | In partnership with 88Nine Radio Milwaukee, a virtual presentation titled #PortraitsOfFemme: Women In Music (Cover Tributes) will take place on Facebook Live, via 88Nine. Lead by MKE artist-producer-musician B~Free, ten women & femme-identifying artists will celebrate International Women’s Day by presenting a diverse array of cover performances, stories of songs by women musicians who’ve inspired them. The event will serve as catalyst for the remaining FemFest events, as well as B~Free’s “31 Day Cover Challenge” for Women in Music to take place throughout the month, exclusively on her Instagram.
March 11th, 7 PM CST | Heard Space, is kicking off their Virtual Write-In Sessions in celebration with Fem Fest. Join this event via Zoom link from the comfort of your home! Each Write in begins with introductions and a quick icebreaker, followed by 20 minutes of writing and use our remaining time to share writings. We’ll post our writing prompt the Wednesday before our write in at 6pm via IG @HeardSpaceMKE.
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, 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.
Additional segments for the Portraits of Femme event will also include curated work by femme & non-binary visual artists to be featured in an exclusive issue of the monthly zine publication Moody. Starting February 18th, copies will be available for purchase HERE.
Community participation will also be a key aspect of the event. Throughout the month, artists will be able to formally submit YouTube & Vimeo links of their covers by femme artists or original work to be hosted on the CopyWrite Magazine website.

Carvd N Stone Releases 2nd Annual Magazine
/*Info from Carvd N Stone
Positive media company Carvd N Stone (CNS) celebrated four years of business by releasing their second annual Best of CNS Magazine on January 21, 2021. This year’s magazine theme is resilience and features the top five articles from the CNS site, new content that will never reach the site, an art section, behind-the-scenes footage, the winners of the CNS 2020 Scholarship Fund, plus more.
The online media company wanted a way to be tangible in the real world, so the magazine was created to highlight their 2019 year, where they held over six events, including a youth panel with the host of the 2020 Democratic National Convention.
Unlike the first edition, The Best of CNS 2020 Magazine has content from around the nation, including California and Louisiana, where some of the CNS Team reside. The magazine features poems, photography and the winners of the CNS Entrepreneurial Grant, where CNS awarded three COVID grants to Milwaukee entrepreneurs.
“Positive news needs to be seen online, but also in person. Creating a magazine full of positivity only made sense, especially in a City where we only see the negative,” said CNS Founder Nyesha Stone. “The Best of CNS Magazine is our little gift to the world to brighten up someone’s day.”
The Best of CNS 2020 Magazine will be purchased until early summer directly on the site at https://www.carvdnstone.com/cnsmerch/best-of-cns-2020-magazine. The magazine can be mailed or picked up on Monday’s from 12 pm CST- 4 pm CST at Young Enterprising Society, 4201 N 27th ST. Milwaukee, WI.
For more information or questions, contact CNS Founder Nyesha Stone at CNS@carvdnstone.com or (414)628-0603.
