Help us fund our next all-women art exhibit

Why give to Surfergirl?

  • ✽

    We give artists the chance to exhibit in major art markets and fairs otherwise unaccessible to new talent.

  • ✽

    It is estimated that only 14% of all art in galleries and museums in the US is by women, we are committed to changing that.

  • ✽

    We search, nurture, and curate artwork from emerging talent on the rise that we believe are museum-worthy.

  • ✽

    While art by women is on the rise, total art sales by women in a given year are still less than that of a single male artist: Picasso.

  • ✽

    We don’t believe in gender stereotypes, we support extraordinary art by new artists that happen to self-identify as women.

  • ✽

    We never charge our artists to exhibit with Surfergirl and only take 20% over artwork sold vs. the customary 50-65%.
