gender parity in the arts? One of the artists’ partners observing the prize presentation of the Toorak Village sculpture exhibition noted that all the prizes had been awarded to men - should there be a prize specifically for female artists? On committee we observed that the prizes awarded at our Annual & Awards exhibition had, by chance been awarded 50/50 to male and female artists. So here is some discussion on the topic: https://www.smh.com.au/culture/art-and-design/art-s-gender-imbalance-affects-way-we-see-the-world-20191030-p535un.html
