Join us for an evening co-hosted with the National Museum of Women in the Art, discussing the rise in representation of female-identifying artists in the UK, as we celebrate the tenth anniversary of East London Fawcett’s Art Audit.

The year-long campaign that assessed female representation in London’s museums and galleries. We will hear from the authors of the Freelands Foundation’s 2015-2022 report which continued ELF’s research as we reflect on the changing landscape for women artists over the last decade.
