#23WomenArtists 2020

It started with a seemingly simple question: Can you name five women artists?

Since 2016, the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) has been asking this question on social media each March during Women’s History Month using the hashtag #5WomenArtists. The campaign calls attention to the fact that women have not been treated equally in the art world, and today they remain dramatically underrepresented and undervalued in museums, galleries, and auction houses.

This month, Cottage Curator joins in celebrating women artists by featuring our #23WomenArtists here and on social media. Browse their work and follow along:
