Support Sheila
Sheila is a national philanthropic foundation with a mission to overturn decades of gender bias in our art world, by writing Australian women artists back into our history and by ensuring equality for today’s women artists.
We see the need for our leadership in this area every day – how is it that in 2021, a walk through most Australian art museums reveals that up to 80% of artworks are by men? What view of Australia would we see if art by women made up an equitable percentage of museum displays? We ask for your support to turn these statistics around.
