A petition for art spaces to do better. 

We challenge museums and galleries to reassess the number of women and non-binary artists they exhibit, represent and collect.

We want to draw attention to women and non-binary artists and the fact that in 2023 they remain marginalised, undervalued and underrepresented. Together we hold museums and galleries accountable. 

Women and non-binary artists are marginalised by the mainstream and opportunities are increasing at a painfully slow rate:

Did you know:

• Women artists represent only 2% of the total art market
• In the USA, 85% of museum collections consist of work by white men
• 67% of artists represented by London’s major commercial galleries are men
• Only 24% of 27,000 artists shown at art fairs were women
• Only 13.7% of artists represented by commercial galleries in Europe and North America are women
• Work by women artists make up only 3–5% of major permanent collections in the U.S. and Europe

SIGN THE PETITION To challenge museums & galleries to reassess the number of women and non-binary artists they exhibit, represent & collect. 

SEND POSTCARDS In collaboration with Ellipsis Print we commission artists to create activist postcards in support of this cause. Buy yours here and send it to  art spaces that need to do better. (First commissioned artist, seen here Valerie Savchits) 

This Project is an initiative of the Repaint History Group, a social enterprise in support of underrepresented artists.
