Last month I blogged about Support Women Artists Now Day (SWAN). I also blogged about Bjork. Today I’m blogging about both. Well, sorta. I’m blogging about Sandra Oh and her support of SWAN Day and love for Bjork.

Star of the hit television series, Grey’s Anatomy, Sandra filmed a short video for SWAN day where she talked about one of her favorite women artists, Bjork. (View the video by clicking here).

The folks at SWAN Day believe that women artists will make much more progress if we work actively to inspire and help each other. If you would like to share a story about a time when you were inspired, gained courage, or learned something important from another woman artist, and write to info@WomenArts.org. , they will be posting more stories and videos in the coming months.

SWAN Day (Support Women Artists Now Day) is a new international holiday that celebrates women artists. It will be an annual event taking place on the last Saturday of Women’s History Month (March). The first SWAN Day will take place on Saturday, March 29, 2008.

As explained on the SWAN Day site: as a symbol of international solidarity, there will be events all over the world featuring women artists on SWAN Day. The public will be encouraged to attend these events and to make donations to their favorite women artists.
