Less Than Half Approved
The Less Than Half Approved program identifies and celebrates galleries that represent 50% or more women and non-binary artists. Approved galleries receive a certification decal to place in their window.
Celebrating those building gender equity in the art world.
Of the five biggest global galleries, not one has achieved gender equity on their artist roster.
It’s not easy working against the status quo. Less Than Half wants to celebrate those galleries who are working to bring women’s art work to the market.

Data often doesn’t account for the nuance that accompanies identity and self-expression. The LTH Approved program celebrates gender inclusion and strives to build a large tent that fits anyone who identifies as a woman or non-binary. Our tool’s technology scans for pronoun usage as well as context clues from mentions across the Internet. Should an artist be misidentified please contact cornelia@lessthanhalf.org.

Yes! Receiving an LTH Approved decal for your gallery is free.
Certification does not guarantee LTH host a Matrons Mixer at your gallery, nor promote your gallery on its social channels.

Galleries are Less Than Half Approved for as long as their roster is 50%+ women and non-binary artists. If your roster changes or you suspect you’ve fallen below that threshold, please contact LTH at cornelia@lessthanhalf.org.

A Matrons Mixer is a gathering of the Less Than Half audience at a LTH Approved gallery, while exhibiting the work of a woman aritst. They are free and open to the public.
LTH organized Mixers take place monthly in New York City, while member-hosted Mixers are held in the member’s home city.
