The arts have the opportunity to lead the way in adopting more innovative measures of gender balance

Take a moment to read Cath Sleeman’s blog post here where she discusses why so many women still feel invisible in the arts – underpaid and under-represented. So how much has really changed? To properly answer this question, she explains, we need to adopt more innovative ways of tracking gender balance.

As an educational manager in the arts with responsibility for equality, diversity and inclusion its concerning to see an industry still dominated by outdated and old fashioned attitudes. However, whilst things are moving forward progress appears to be slow but innovation in how assess data may be more fruitful.
