创意艺术与设计

与女童教育的关系

有一个 underrepresentation of women across the fields that lie within the art industry.

今天 women remain 戏剧tically underrepresented and undervalued in museums, galleries, and auction houses. 

• Three of the most-visited museums in the world, the British Museum (est. 1753年)，卢浮宫(est. 1793), and The Metropolitan Museum of Art (est. 1870) have never had female directors.

• 近一半(45岁).8%) of visual artists in the United States are women; 平均, they earn 74¢ for every dollar made by male artists.

• There are no women in the top 0.03% of the auction market, where 41% of the profit is concentrated. Overall, 96% of artworks sold at auction are by male artists.

• The NEA found that as women artists age, they earn progressively less than their male artist counterparts. Women artists aged 55–64 earn only 66¢ for each $1 earned by men.

• Women make up a majority of professional art museum 工作人员; despite recent gains, they remain underrepresented in 领导 positions.

• 女性也保留了 underrepresented in the ballet world; despite the fact that women fill the stage, they are missing from 领导 positions in the ballet world:
  • At the largest 50 ballet companies in the United States, 71% of artistic directors from founding to present have been men.
  • 在世界范围内, the odds that an artistic director of a major ballet company will have a female successor are just 29%.
