2. Artists over a certain age being passed over for exhibitions or residencies.
3. Critics and curators not taking older artists’ work as seriously as that of younger artists.
4. Artists over a certain age being excluded from art fairs and other events.
5. Galleries and museums not representing older artists in their collections.
6. Older artists being passed over for grants and awards.
7. Critics and curators not reviewing older artists’ work as often as that of younger artists.
8. Older artists being passed over for teaching positions.
9. Older artists being passed over for representation by galleries.
10. Artists over a certain age being passed over for commissions and other paid work.
11. Older artists being passed over for residencies and other opportunities to work in a supportive environment.
12. Galleries not promoting older artists as actively as younger artists.
13. Critics and curators not writing about older artists’ work as much as that of younger artists.
14. Artists over a certain age being passed over for representation by art agents.
15. Older artists being passed over for opportunities to participate in public art projects.
16. Galleries and museums not purchasing work by older artists for their collections.
