As an artist, I'm really drawn to the idea of Matronage. It’s about valuing not just the finished artwork but also the creative process and the person behind it. By focusing on nurturing artists themselves, Matronage can help build a more supportive, fair, and vibrant art community. This approach could create stronger connections between artists and collectors, based on respect and shared goals.
Your points on the "glass cliff" are spot-on, too. It's important to recognize the extra challenges women face, especially during crises, and to support them consistently, not just when things go wrong. Matronage feels like a great way to promote a more balanced and caring approach to supporting the arts, one that truly values diverse voices.
I believe perhaps to separate the association with gender in using matronage or patronage, the use of the word nurturing might work better. Isn’t that what you are writing about or did I get it wrong?
