A project for today! Listen to this…
The National Museum of Women in the Arts (NWMA), the world’s only major museum solely dedicated to celebrating great women artists, has announced a new social media campaign for this March’s Women’s History Month. If you ask someone to name five artists, they will likely name prominent male artists, but how many people can list five women artists? To increase awareness the museum will launch the campaign “Can you name five women artists?” March 1 on its website and blog as well as on social media outlets, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Using the hashtag #5womenartists, the campaign will encourage NMWA’s online community to help address the gender imbalance in the presentation of art both in the United States and internationally.
Oh, I am so in… mind you, I could name 500 women artists that I love, but I’ll play by the rules. Here are 5 of my {many} favorite artists, who also happen to be women:
Alright yes, that was 6, but I had to make sure that the mysterious and talented Vivian Maier was in there too! Ok, now it’s your turn – jump on those social media channels and name #5womenartists whose work you love {contemporary or historical} and help make it really easy for people to be able to name five women artists ♥

all fabulous and easily top ten~I will add Maira Kahlman to the group and bow down before Vivian. She is my truest fave among those gone but genius never forgotten. Oh happy 5 women artist day! And hats off to all the relatively unknown artists~we continue to work and make art and do it because in the words of a wise man named Al Carbee (Magic Universe film) who said “I am a creative person and I have to create”. I feel that with your featured artists. Thank you Danielle. You are a multi talented artist and creator! Hats off to you too!
