March Is Women's History Month! Bring In All Of The Amazing Women In Your Life To Paint and Spend Time Together!
This conference was co-sponsored by groups such as the Smithsonian Institute, Sarah Lawrence College, and the Women’s Action Alliance and when they learned of the celebration held in that Sonoma school district the prior year, they decided to get to work to create a National Women’s History Week.
By February of 1980, their work had made it all the way to the White House and a month later, U.S President Jimmy Carter would proclaim March 8th, 1980 as National Women’s History Week. During his proclamation, he stated how both men and women helped build the United States; how women are the unsung heroes of history and how their contributions are so often unnoticed by society in general. A year later, Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah and Representative Barbara Mikulski co-sponsored a Joint Congressional Resolution proclaiming Women’s History Week – beginning March 7th, 1982. Over the next several years, schools all across the country began to expand Women’s History Week into Women’s History Month. By the time 1986 arrived, 14 states had declared the month of March as Women’s History Month.
The National Women’s History Project petitioned Congress in 1987 to establish a Women’s History Month – which they did when they passed Public Law 100-09 on March 12th, 1987 – that designated the entire month of March as Women’s History Month. Over the next several years, Congress would pass more laws that request and authorize the President to proclaim March as Women’s History Month. And all U.S Presidents have issued annual proclamations to that effect ever since 1988. Today, it is celebrated by individuals and schools all over the country."
Here at Pinot’s Palette, we love to celebrate holidays, seasons, and month-long celebrations. Through paintings, special classes, fundraising events and more, we enjoy adding a theme to our classes. Nothing makes an already fun event more fun than a theme! While any of our paintings are a LOT fo fu to make with any of your friends and family, we’d like to highlight a few upcoming classes that we think you and your girlfriends would really enjoy! Come in with your mom, grandmother, sister, cousin, bffs, coworkers and all of the other influential women in your life and make some artwork and memories!
Cheers!

"I was really nervous coming to one of these events by myself, but I couldn’t have had a better time. I met some really nice people and everyone who was working the event was very friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely be back for more. I can’t wait for my next “session”!”
