Pink-Collar Gallery is dedicated to the promotion of underrepresented groups and using art to promote equality. Developed by Sunderland-based curator Michaela Wetherell whose particular passions are highlighting female (under)representation within the arts and the relevance of working-class identity.
Starting online to support artists in the pandemic and to develop an exhibition programme. Since 2020 Pink-collar has worked with over 155 artists, commissioned 20 new pieces of work and focused on issues such as mental health, working-class identity and femicide. In 2024 Pink-collar is growing the gallery to a physical space which will be located in Sunderland.
