Empowered Women Empowering Female Artists

COVEDOZA is an online platform powered by its growing community of women that’s all about feminist art. Its mission is to financially empower female artists from around the world by creating sustainable, short or long-term collaborations that will generate passive income for the artist via the COVEDOZA platform. Once a theme is agreed upon, the artist creates the designs and gives COVEDOZA the right to print it on lifestyle products. We calculate the artists’ earnings every three months, which are then paid via Paypal or Xoom at the beginning of each quarter.

For centuries, women have been involved in making art, whether as creators and innovators of new forms of artistic expression, patrons, collectors, sources of inspiration, or significant contributors as art historians and critics. Today they remain dramatically underrepresented and undervalued in museums, galleries, and auction houses. They face challenges due to gender biases, from finding difficulty in training to selling their work and gaining recognition. According to the National Endowment for the Arts, “nearly half (45.8%) of visual artists in the United States are women; on average, they earn 74¢ for every dollar made by male artists.”

Therefore, COVEDOZA addresses the issue of women’s under-representation and pay inequality in the arts by educating the public about their work and their stories, while addressing the customers’ need for inspirational products to overcome mental health issues, depression, lack of motivation and adulting.
