The National Museum of Women in the Arts found that 87% of their collections feature male artists in a data analysis of 18 major U.S. art museums. Women's underrepresentation in the art world has been important to our team since the beginning of this project in 2016; at the art show, we want to bring women from all walks of life into the artistic conversation while encouraging them to break into new art spaces.
