Our Mission

We are tired of walking through museums and galleries thinking: Where are the women artists? Curators, art dealers, collectors, editors, directors, writers, teachers and everyone else who have been excluding us; HERE WE ARE. 

This is an open directory and database for all women artists and art world professionals.  A new project brought to you by ArtGirlRising. Together we increase visibility and opportunities for women in the artworld. 

WE ARE HERE, WE WILL BE SEEN. 

DID YOU KNOW: 


Out of 18 prominent art museums in the U.S. with over 10,000 artists 87% are male, and 85% are white.
Just 8% of public art in central London was created by women.
Only 13.7% of living artists represented by galleries in Europe and North America are women  
Of the hundred most expensive works ever sold, none are by a woman. 

We believe by creating this platform we can help shift the numbers. There are no excuses.

WE ARE HERE. WE WILL BE SEEN.
