About Lady Brain Fest

The first annual Lady Brain Fest was created in partnership with Listen Local Radio to bring a 100% womxn-fronted full scale music and art festival to San Diego. In our inaugural year, twenty acts performed on two stages to an audience of more than 500 attendees. This festival not only created new, paid opportunities for womxn artists, but it also helped to combat the staggeringly dismal statistics of gender inequity within the entertainment industry. What’s more, the success of the festival helps dispel the tired myth that womxn artists are not in demand. Finally, the extensive local coverage of Lady Brain Fest illustrated the noteworthy, newsworthy importance of womxn’s representation in the arts. Out of the many strategies and efforts made by Lady Brain Presents, Lady Brain Fest has the most potential to help womxn creatives thrive, to improve representation and visibility, and to combat inequality on a large scale. Not surprisingly, this project also requires the most time, energy, and funding. Without proper resources, Lady Brain Fest will not be able to sustain or grow, these efforts.

This year, we will be partnering with docu-series creator and Lady Brain Collective member Mary Bee to present Lady Brain Film Fest on Saturday, August 8. Stay tuned for more information and submission guidelines!
