EXOgallery Recognized by Less Than Half for Championing Female Artists during their visit to New York in May 2025.

EXOgallery is proud to announce its official recognition by Less Than Half, a New York–based organization founded by art historian and critic Hall W. Rockefeller. This recognition celebrates EXOgallery’s strong commitment to representing and elevating the work of female-identifying artists in the contemporary art world.

Hall W. Rockefeller is a respected advocate for gender equity in the arts. She founded Less Than Half to spotlight and support female artists, addressing the historic and ongoing gender imbalance in art institutions, galleries, and collections. The organization’s name refers to the fact that women make up less than half of artists represented in most major galleries and museums—a gap Less Than Half is determined to close.

EXOgallery has consistently prioritized inclusion and diversity by curating exhibitions that feature female artists across a range of mediums and cultural backgrounds. Through thoughtful programming, solo shows, and collaborative partnerships, EXOgallery offers an essential platform for voices that have been historically underrepresented in the art world.

This recognition by Less Than Half is a meaningful milestone that reinforces EXOgallery’s mission to foster equity in the arts. By supporting female artists not only through exhibition opportunities but also through mentorship and professional development, EXOgallery continues to contribute to a more inclusive and balanced art ecosystem.
