Using the hashtag #5WomenArtists, the campaign calls attention to the fact that women and nonbinary artists have not been treated equally in the art world, and today they remain dramatically underrepresented and undervalued in museums, galleries, and auction houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-alt-paragraph\">Each year, thousands of cultural organizations and individuals take to social media to answer the challenge, sparking a global conversation about gender equity in the arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-alt-heading\">2026 #5WomenArtists: 10 Years of Advocacy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-alt-paragraph\">This year marks the tenth anniversary of #5WomenArtists! Since 2016, NMWA has posed a simple yet profound question: &#8220;Can you name five women artists?&#8221; The initiative has ignited a powerful shift in public awareness, challenging ongoing gender inequity in the art world. Throughout 2026, we will celebrate the campaign\u2019s achievements over the last decade by featuring artists, museums, and cultural organizations in our programs, on our website, and on social media. #5WomenArtists will continue to fight the gender gap and advocate for an equitable future for women and nonbinary artists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"6e5d5b\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #6e5d5b;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2000\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" src=\"https:\/\/nmwa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2020-02-10-_5WomenArtists_7_40598-3000x2000.jpg\" alt=\"A young woman of Asian descent poses in a black T-shirt that has the question &quot;Can you name five women artists?&quot; printed in bold white text in its center.\" class=\"wp-image-94888 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nmwa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2020-02-10-_5WomenArtists_7_40598-3000x2000.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/nmwa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2020-02-10-_5WomenArtists_7_40598-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nmwa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2020-02-10-_5WomenArtists_7_40598-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nmwa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2020-02-10-_5WomenArtists_7_40598-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nmwa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2020-02-10-_5WomenArtists_7_40598-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/nmwa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2020-02-10-_5WomenArtists_7_40598-930x620.jpg 930w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Jennifer Albarracin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-alt-heading\">Upcoming #5WomenArtists Events<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<section id=\"event-cards_block_b0980582d8e4b3e9451cc45c92e7b31b\" class=\"event-cards  \">\n\n                                 \n      \n          \n                          <h3 id=\"event-label\" class=\"show-for-sr\"> \n              Related Events\n            <\/h3>\n              \n              <ul aria-labelledby=\"event-label\" class=\"grid-x\">\n                            <li class=\"single-card large-4\">\n\n \n    <div class=\"card-body-container\">\n\n                        <h4 class=\"card-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/nmwa.org\/whats-on\/calendar\/tour-celebrating-connection-2026-02-21\/\">Tour: Celebrating Connection<\/a>\n          <\/h4>\n                    \n            <div class=\"card-subheading\">\n                                                  \n                        \n      <div class=\"card-exhibit-date\"><strong>\n      <span class=\"sr-only\">Event Date<\/span>\n              Saturday, February 21, 2026\n            <\/strong><\/div>\n\n      <span class=\"sr-only\">Event Time<\/span>\n                    12            \n            to\n        12:45 \n                    pm\n           ET\n        <\/div>\n\n      \n      <div class=\"card-subheading show-for-sr\">\n              <\/div>\n\n      <div class=\"copy\">\n              <\/div>\n\n              <ul class=\"event-tags\" aria-label=\"Tags\">\n            <li>\n          <a class=\"primary-tag exhibit-date\" href=\"https:\/\/nmwa.org\/events\/in-person\/\">\n            In-Person\n          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n            <li>\n          <a class=\"primary-tag exhibit-date\" href=\"https:\/\/nmwa.org\/events\/gallery-talk\/\">\n            Talks and Tours\n          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n          <\/ul>\n      <\/div>\n  \n        <div class=\"img-container\">\n      <div class=\"img-overflow-box\">\n                              <picture>\n              <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"horizontal original-image\" \n                srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nmwa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2024.55_46449.jpg?fit=432%2C999999&#038;quality=60&#038;format=webp 1x, \n                        https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nmwa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2024.55_46449.jpg?fit=640%2C999999&#038;quality=60&#038;format=webp 2x\" \n                alt=\"A portrait of a Black woman with an intricately styled updo wearing a patterned jacket and a shirt with a star design.
