Guggenheim Museum in New York City, Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation, Women in Design, Wikiproject Women Wikipedia Design and WikiProject Women in Red, in sponsoring the #Guggathon Women in Architecture Wikipedia edit-a-thon global campaign of editing events for improving and increasing the presence of cultural, historic, and artistic information on Wikipedia pertaining to the lives and works of women in architecture.
With keystone concurrent events scheduled for Thursday October 15 in Los Angeles, New York City and elsewhere, the campaign aims to further the goals of Ada Lovelace Day for STEM, and Art+Feminism for art, in a field that by its nature combines both.
