What inspired smallärt?
I read an article on Hyperallergic about the lack of representation of women and BIPOC in major US museums.
Read the article here.
The takeaway from the study:
"Our results are threefold. First, we provide estimates of gender and ethnic diversity at each museum, and overall, we find that 85% of artists are white and 87% are men. Second, we identify museums that are outliers, having significantly higher or lower representation of certain demographic groups than the rest of the pool. Third, we find that the relationship between museum collection mission and artist diversity is weak, suggesting that a museum wishing to increase diversity might do so without changing its emphases on specific time periods and regions. Our methodology can be used to broadly and efficiently assess diversity in other fields."
smallärt is currently a 501 (c)3 non-profit (EIN 87-3806570) these galleries allow a low cost entry point for emerging through established artists. The mini galleries offer the public a free and accessible way to view a variety of art that changes monthly.
