ArtsFemin is a group of feminist art curators and artists dedicated to empowering women through art by redressing the gender imbalance in the art world, they call themselves the “artsfemin warriors”. The initiative is Leticia de Prado’s brainchild a Spanish artist and artpreneur, she curated a team combining years of experience in the art world to help guide and bring the artist and her work in front of a target audience, positioning her in the right framework to achieve her goals.

Statistics show that under thirty percent of galleries represent female artists and sales in major art fairs of women artists’ works is an average fifteen percent compared to male artists. The group’s strategy is to provide emerging female career artists not represented by major galleries a break by organizing exhibitions in exclusive enclaves capturing the attention and interest of discerning art lovers and collectors away from public art fairs competing against thousands of artworks and hundreds of galleries.
