Mar 12, 2018, nesta: #PressForProgress: Evidencing gender inequality in the arts, via KTN Creative

“From ‘Wonder Woman’ to ‘Lady Bird’ to the Dora Milaje of ‘Black Panther’, complex female characters are appearing on the big screen. In music, female artists like Dua Lipa have been topping the UK charts. And the highest paid author? It’s J.K. Rowling. Yet many women still feel invisible in the arts – underpaid and under-represented. So how much has really changed? To properly answer this question we need to adopt more innovative ways of tracking gender balance”.

Mar 13, 2018, Artsy: How to Be an Artist, According to Georgia O’Keeffe, via Creative Europe

“’The notion that you can make an artist overnight, that there is nothing but genius, and a dash of temperament in artistic success is a fallacy,’ artist Georgia O’Keeffe asserted when she was 40 years old in 1928. The year before, she’d been given her first retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum – an indisputable marker of success. But O’Keeffe, who would live to the age of 98, wasn’t done developing as an artist – or contemplating what it meant to be one”.
