In the United States, 51% of living visual artists are women, yet only 13.7% are represented in galleries. On average, women artists earn 81¢ for every dollar made by their male contemporaries.[1]
Legendary: An Exhibition of Women Artists addresses these inequities and aims to rectify them by creating a safe space for women artists to meet, exhibit and engage with the public. The exhibition will feature the artwork of several prominent women artists from the Washington metropolitan area. Additional details and opportunities for women artists can be found online at www.debrawrightstudio.com. [1] Source: National Endowment for the Arts; Artnet Analytics; Maastricht University.
