			At the end of the exhibition, there is a wall where visitors could leave notes.

A small wall of the current reality in Bulgaria, I would say.

	If we have a look at art history books, the majority of the artists we study are men. There were, of course, female painters, but their art is becoming visible only during the most recent years. They are still much less than men, because, back in the day, art was not as accessible for women as for men.		If we have a look at art history books, the majority of the artists we study are men.

			''The Advantages of Being a Woman Artist'' (1988) is one of my favourite pieces. Probably because I can still relate to many of the things they mention, even though it's more than 35 years later. Some of the statements I would like to highlight: <br>
			_Having the opportunity to choose between career and motherhood
			_Having an escape from the art world in your 4 free-lance jobs
			_Knowing your career might pick up after you're 80
			_Being reassured that whatever kind of art you make it will be labeled feminine

			and more <3

			Less than 5% of the artists in the Modern Art sections are women, but 85% of the nudes are female.

They are still much less than men, because, back in the day, art was not as accessible for women as for men.
