In celebration of Women's History Month, the Women in the Arts & Media Coalition will continue its yearly Women Arts Day — in collaboration with member organizations including SAG-AFTRA, NYWIFT, and WomenArts--at the School of Visual Arts.

LILLY is a dramatic feature film starring Patricia Clarkson, John Benjamin Hickey and Thomas Sadoski, about an Alabama tire factory worker who fights for justice after 20 years of being mistreated and cheated by the company. An emotional journey of heartbreak and euphoria, LILLY is the story of an ordinary woman who stands up to powerful corporate and political forces, underscoring the impact a single, courageous person can have on society.

Based on the remarkable life of Lilly Ledbetter, directed by Rachel Feldman, LILLY won BEST of the FEST at the 2025 Palm Springs International Film Festival and was awarded the Anti Defamation League’s STAND UP AWARD at the 2025 Santa Barbara International Film Festival. LILLY will be released theatrically this spring. 

There will be a talkback after the films with members of the creative team.

After the films and talkback, there will be food, drink, and networking. As every year, the event will be free, sponsored by the Coalition and the participating organizations.
