Art for All
Did you know that only 30% of gallery artists are women? Despite this, 43% of working artists are actually mothers. Moreover, a staggering 75% of women artists are not featured in major art exhibitions. These statistics highlight the ongoing gender disparities in the art world and the need for more excellent representation and recognition of women artists.
