Inspiring change within the art ndustry is something that comes from the large institutes themselves. Though the climate is changing, there is still a problem with getting young artists into the careers that they so heavily desire. And, not to wield a sword so sharp and unrelenting, but the gap between male and female’s entering this three ringed circus called art is a stark, cold and large one.
The new initiative between Tate Modern and BAFTA kicks off today and sees 150 high profile women from all walks of art unite with a 850 state school girls to help craft their careers, jobs and experiences. On the list include celebrities Jenny Agutter, Alex Jones, Jude Kelly, and June Sarpon plus many many more. Each coming together to support a young woman, the campaign that has run since 2013 has surpassed 15,000 women from all the boardwalks of the art industry giving the advice necessary for young women to succeed in this intrepid career.
