This article examines women artists in Israel seeking to make a living from their art. Reviewing the art field as a broad system of economic and social parameters, it places the Israeli art scene in historical and economic contexts, analysing the difficulties women artists from various socio-economic groups face due to their gender and class background, as well as their ethnicity and nationality. The research is based on interviews with women artists and on intersectional analysis. A pioneering project in the field in Israel, it suggest that more research must be conducted in order to examine future issues in the working lives of women artists from various groups and diverse stages of their life-cycle.
