As the honour lists roll around each year, I always bemoan the lack of inclusions from the visual arts sector, whether that be practising artists or arts professionals. The level of commitment and contribution should be greater recognised. With the release of the co-authored report, ‘Visual Arts Work: Key Research Findings, Implications and Proposed Actions‘ (RMIT University with The University of Melbourne) last week, the women working in our sector need a boost, and a sense of affirmation that they are indeed valued. Especially as the sector is in constant demand to deliver more on less.
