Staff at Whitney Museum, Brooklyn Museum, and American Folk Art Museum Authorize Strike

Staff at major institutions like the Whitney and Brooklyn Museum have authorized a strike, demanding livable wages in the cities they serve. This pivotal moment underscores a critical issue for emerging women artists: the struggle for fair compensation within the art world. Many artists support their practice through cultural work, and these actions highlight the urgent need for all labor in the arts to be valued equitably. It's a powerful reminder to advocate for your own worth, understand the collective power of voice, and recognize that the health of our art ecosystem depends on fair treatment for everyone involved. Your creative labor deserves fair pay, just like museum staff. — Source: Hyperallergic
