Twelfth Annual Women's Celebration set for February 21st!

The 12th annual Celebration of Women and Their Music is scheduled for Saturday, February 21, 2009, at 6:30 PM at the historic Fargo Theatre in downtown Fargo, ND.

The Celebration of Women and their Music is the brainchild of Deb Jenkins, Fargo, renowned blues singer, chef, and caterer. Over the years the show has featured regional women performing a variety of musical genres from popular to classical. Each year brings newcomers to the stage as well as select returning favorites from previous years in a celebration of the talent and artistic cameraderie of women in the Fargo-Moorhead region.

This is a non profit event. None of the artists involved get paid. They come together to show their support and give the young female award recipients encouragement and praise for all they have accomplished in their art field. The money raised at this event goes towards continuing this event and to an endowment fund established with the F-M Area Foundation. The endowment helps fund an annual scholarship awarded to one or more local high school female artists to go toward the school she will attend. The twelfth annual Young Woman in the Arts award will be presented during the concert and the show http://www.myspace.com/celebrationofwomen will feature a performance by the recipient.
