About Random Acts of Art Equity

Launching in Women’s History Month in March 2026, Random Acts of Art Equity is a social media campaign that invites everyone into a practice of creative abundance: small, unexpected, incongruous yet joyful, easy, and shareable acts that accumulate and multiply recognition for women and nonbinary artists.
