The Anti Beauty Pageant, a women driven festival celebrating women in
the arts, will be taking place at Ground Zero in Bellevue on March 1

together to learn skills, share knowledge, and inspire each other.
The weekend will consist of skill sharing workshops starting at
12:00pm each day, and performers in the evenings, starting at 6pm.
There will be an art gallery opening with local artists, an open jam
