Baltimore’s Museum of Art’s acquisition budget for 2020, approximately $2 million, will be spent on women artists. 20 women-centric exhibitions are also planned for 2020. The Baltimore Museum’s specific action to offer more diversity in their role as a public forum for art may inspire other institutions to do likewise. Currently their permanent collection encompasses 4% women artists.
Wondering what percentage of women artists make up museum permanent collections nationwide????

SavvyCollector.com has always offered a Culture category to search: Women Artists
Sadly, female artists whose work appears on Savvy only make up close to 6.5%.
