A recent study<\/a> conducted by an “Arts in NYC” course at CUNY Guttman College revealed a huge gender discrepancy in New York City’s art world. Across 45 of the city’s top galleries, only 30% of their represented artists were female, while 70% were male.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In light of this shocking revelation, here are some exhibitions you can visit\u00a0right now<\/em> in New York City to celebrate the work of talented female artists. And what better way to celebrate and share their creativity than with an Instagram post?<\/p>\n

With this exhibition, Chelsea, a transgender woman recently released from prison, is at last able to see herself as who she truly is. See her story and share her face.<\/p>\n
