An annual event in the Western NY Wilds,
Celebrated locally since 2014 in partnership with The Belfast Organization for Artists to shine a light on our local Women Artists as a Creative resource; SWAN Day Allegany County NY has been held in honor of the many creative people working hard to keep the arts accessible to all members of our rural community.

Thank You so Much for All That You Do!
“In partnership with many equally dedicated male residents,
these creative women find a way to unite peacefully across different perspectives and opinions to keep our county a viable and healthy
habitat for all of its residents.
Through all of time, what greater, genderneutral, "women's art" has there ever been than that?” slk
