STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES OF LADYFEST, NEW ORLEANS
LadyFest is a non-profit arts, film, music, and spoken word, festival held by local women of all identities to showcase, celebrate and encourage the music, poetry, art and activism of women in New Orleans and to benefit local organizations that support women.
We are committed to inspiring self-empowerment
and we welcome and encourage all people
who support the education, advancement,
and celebration of women to attend the festival..
We feel that providing a venue for women artists counters the obstacles and discrimination that women often face, including sexism, homophobia and racism. We are creating an annual festival where women can perform with other women (and men) in a safe, dominantly female-friendly, non corporate environment. LadyFest is open and inviting to both men and women, of all ages and backgrounds.
