SWAN DAY SUCCESS!

Over 200 people attended over the weekend Kate Campbell Stevenson's new musical performance Petticoats in Politics at Round House Theatre in Silver Spring.
The event celebrated SWAN Day - Support Women Artists Now! and benefited Empowered Women International programs for immigrant women artists.

 
Guests, volunteers and EWI immigrant artists had the opportunity to share stories, connect ,and most importantly celebrate a history of women's visions and beliefs through art, activisms and entrepreneurial spirit. Art from EWI artists native of Inidia, Peru, Ethiopia and Indonesia was on display and for sale.
