Over the course of three days, the Making Their Mark Foundation presented the Making Their Mark Forum, a first-of-its-kind international gathering in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the achievements of women artists, advance gender equity in the arts, and inspire action to effect lasting change. Timed to coincide with Women’s History Month and the Foundation’s landmark exhibition Making Their Mark: Works from the Shah Garg Collection at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA), this event brought together over 350 leading cultural figures, artists, and professionals for a series of panel discussions, keynotes, poetry readings, and performances spread across the three days.

Anonymous Was A Woman Symposium

Highlights and Takeaways from the Anonymous Was A Woman Symposium

On Wednesday April 9th, more than 300 people filled an auditorium at New York University to hear about the findings of a new survey commissioned by Anonymous Was A Woman and compiled by reporter-researchers Julia Halperin and Charlotte Burns in conjunction with SMU Data Arts. The symposium was followed by roundtable discussion on the survey and symposium attended by 40 invited women professionals in the arts. At the end of it all, they anonymously answered two questions: What have you learned? What can you do? ARTnews has created a video with key highlights from the symposium and compiled some key takeaways from the anonymous responses.

The Artists Speak Report, commissioned by Anonymous Was A Woman, and written by journalists Charlotte Burns, Julia Halperin, and SMU Data Arts, synthesizes the responses to the Anonymous Was A Woman Artist Survey, a landmark study that AWAW undertook last fall to gain a better understanding of women artists’ lives and careers, and the factors contributing to their successes and challenges. The survey was produced in collaboration with Burns, Halperin, SMU, and arts leader Loring Randolph. The resulting report, synthesizes the responses of over 1200 artists of all ages. The report and data visualizations are made by Nehema Kariuki.

AWAW commissioned this information to identify areas where more support is needed, with the goal of using it to influence other decision-makers, like other funders, museum board members, and gallerists. Finally, we hope that artists can use this information for self-directed labor organizing and activist efforts.
