Fund for Women Artists, The
The Fund for Women Artists is a national nonpro?t organization dedicated to increasing the employment and diversity of women in theatre, ?lm, and video. The organization seeks to challenge gender and other stereotypes by supporting the creation and appreciation of art that re?ects the full diversity and complexity of women’s lives while also advocating for women artists to be paid fairly and to have more opportunities to make a living from their creative work. Its website includes a funding resources section, an advocacy section, and the WomenArts Network, a database of women who have artistic works or skills to share. Artists can also sign up for free funding newsletters or advocacy alerts.
The Fund for Women Artists’ WomenArts Advocacy Program works to cre¬ate lasting change in the broader culture by mobilizing women artists and their supporters on six major issues that affect the working lives of women artists. These issues include employment and diversity in media and the arts, images of women in media and the arts, ownership of the media, free expres¬sion for artists and all Americans, government funding of the arts, and inter¬national issues. Information about the WomenArts Advocacy Program is available on the organization’s website. Artists are also encouraged to sign up for their Advocacy Alerts to ?nd out where to express opinions for the maximum impact.
