“Music venues are the engine of the creative industries”: lessons from the graphic ephemera of our lost clubs and pubs

The V&A’s latest display, chronicling the graphic ephemera of vanishing music venues, offers a powerful lesson for emerging women artists. These 'engines of the creative industries' are more than just performance spaces; they are vital cultural incubators where visual art, design, and community thrive. For early-career artists, this exhibit underscores the critical importance of physical and communal spaces – whether galleries, studios, or unconventional venues – for connection, inspiration, and showcasing your unique voice. It's a call to cherish existing hubs and actively envision and build the future landscapes where women's art can flourish. — Source: It's Nice That
