Women of Type
Jess Goldsmith
Join us for a conversation on building global community through creativity.
Jess Goldsmith (Founder of Women Of Type) and WoT editor, Artavia Jarvis discuss how to build a digital space into an IRL community fostering women and nonbinary artists from across the world.
Jess Goldsmith is the owner and author of Women of Type – a community and book that showcases, uplifts, and amplifies the creative typography and the lettering work of women and nonbinary artists all over the world. Women of Type, the book, features over 130 women and nonbinary artists from over 20 countries across 5 continents, truly making it a diverse representation of the art, power, and beauty of the written word. The community has now grown and blossomed from a digital space on a small corner of the internet to an ‘IRL’ experience and community and book.
A copy of Women of Type can be purchased here.
