«Ask someone to name five artists and responses will likely include names such as Warhol, Picasso, van Gogh, Monet, da Vinci—all male artists. Ask someone to name five women artists, and the question poses more of a challenge.
Back by popular demand this March, the National Museum of Women in the Arts continues to ask, “Can you name five women artists?” This simple question calls attention to the inequity women artists face, inspires conversation, and brings awareness to a larger audience. Last year, the campaign struck a chord, and tens of thousands of posts were shared on social media. This year, more than 200 institutions from 50 states, 22 countries, and seven continents have already signed on to participate.
Join us throughout the month to share stories of women artists using the hashtag #5WomenArtists on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Challenge your family and friends.
- Share posts about your favorite women artists.
- Share a work by a woman artist at a museum or gallery near you.
- Explore NMWA’s artist profiles to discover artists you may not know.
- Get the facts about art world inequality and track campaign updates all month long».
