Art and Feminism (stylized as Art+Feminism), which began in 2014 as an annual worldwide edit-a-thon to add content to Wikipedia about women artists, is today a registered 501(c)(3) organization. The project has been described as "a massive multinational effort to correct a persistent bias in Wikipedia, which is disproportionately written by and about men".

In 2014, Art+Feminism's inaugural campaign attracted 600 volunteers at 30 events. The following year, a total of 1,300 volunteers attended 70 events that took place across 17 countries, on four continents. Since then more than 20,000 people have taken part in over 1,500 events. This has led to the creation or improvement of over 100,000 Wikipedia articles. In January 2025, Art+Feminism announced its 2025–2026 campaign, centered on imagining what a "truly feminist internet" could look like. The success of Art+Feminism comes from the collective efforts of individuals from various backgrounds such as scholars, Wikipedians, and librarians. These individuals play major roles in pushing their efforts, as society's further growing interest in gender equality within the technological sector. The importance of addressing issues relating closely to gender also aligns closely with the goals of Art+Feminism.
