2025 Annual Survey of Sexual Discrimination in the Visual Arts

Formerly known as the Guerrilla Girl Counts


This last year I started getting bored with the predictability of the Counts so a few I ignored until the end of year and the results aren't preserved on the respective websites. I'll update if I can find more juried shows.

2025 results in 7 major juried shows:

307 pieces x 302 women

225 pieces by 222 men

58% of women's submissions accepted
42% of men's submissions accepted

"40.5% of visual artists are women and 59.5% of visual artists are men."

(see: https://www.zippia.com/visual-artist-jobs/demographics/)
