Celebrating Women in March

March brings Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day on March 8th. This month presents the perfect opportunity to celebrate those women who have inspired you through their leadership, creativity, willingness to lift others up, or drive to bring forth a better tomorrow.

We encourage you to take time this month to thank those local women who are helping to make Clallam County a better place and to join us at one of the fabulous events happening in the next two weeks celebrating the history, culture and influence of women.

This Friday, March 1st starting at 7 PM, Rosie and the Riveters will be playing at Port Angeles High School. This trio of female performers did not set out to get political with their music. But opening a newspaper or watching the news these days made it impossible to see the status of women around the world and stay silent. The result is Ms. Behave – a collection of gritty, sultry, vintage-inspired folk anthems that paint a portrait of a woman’s voice in a man’s world. If you are ready to get fired up for our next election season, these ladies might be just the magic you need. Additional bonus, 20% of their merchandise profits are invested in women’s projects and businesses around the world through KIVA.org, which means you get to hear great music while supporting good causes.

Also on the docket is an incredible new exhibition at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center Mothers and Makers sharing the works of Minnesota-based photographer and ceramicist Jessica Holleque. Jessica documents women across the United States who are living out the dual identities of mother and artist.  Get a first peek at this exhibition at the opening reception on Saturday, March 2 from 5-7 PM. Additionally, right now through opening night, you can purchase an online raffle ticket to win a Free Motherhood Photo Session.

Finally, on International Women’s Day Fri. March 8th, Peninsula College Magic of Cinema Program will show the documentary RGB, about our hero Ruth Bader Ginsberg. This free film highlights not only Ginsberg’s lengthy legal career and her rise to the nation’s highest court but it also explores her role as a cultural icon. The film will be followed by a discussion with Port Angeles Deputy Mayor Kate Dexter. The film will be held in Maier Performance Hall at 7PM. Learn More

AND, last but not least, keep an eye out for news in your inbox and on our events page as we will be announcing several opportunities to take action later this month in preparation for 2019 Election Season. We are excited to offer workshops for new candidates and those who would like to support upcoming campaigns.
