Abstract
The research project focuses on rectifying the underrepresentation of female artists within Canadian museums, aiming to combat gender inequality in the Canadian art landscape. The objective is to cultivate a more diverse cultural environment by delivering actionable recommendations for museums and policymakers. The project's success will be gauged through metrics such as increased representation of female artists, the adoption of gender equality policies, positive feedback from stakeholders, and improved visibility for artists from diverse backgrounds. The research employs a mixed-method approach, integrating both qualitative and quantitative methods. Primary stakeholders include female artists, museums, policymakers, art critics, and collectors, with secondary stakeholders comprising patrons, curators, educators, advocacy groups, the public, academics, and fellow artists.
