Women's participation in arts raises concern

Whether as architects and visionaries of various forms of artistic expression, vital patrons and collectors, or important contributors to the discipline of art, women have been and continue to be essential to the institution of art.

For the most part, however, history has systematically excluded or masked women’s participation in the visual arts and that is a concern this year in the 2021 BTC Phonebook cover design and 2020 Thapong Artist of The Year (TAYA) competitions.
