The week before the Women's March, sales of poster boards in the US were up 33 percent and foam boards by 42 percent versus the same week last year.

When the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art steps down in June, the top job at the biggest art museum in the US will be up for grabs. A woman faces long odds of landing that job, to judge from a study from the Association of Art Museum Directors. "The Ongoing Gender Gap in Art Museum Directorships" shows that just one of the nation's thirteen largest museums is led by a woman.

When Sydney Lowe invited a few girlfriends over to her small Brooklyn apartment in 2014, she didn't know she was starting an army. Today she is the founder of Art Girl Army, a fast-growing collective of women creatives—including those who are gender nonconforming, transgender, and genderqueer—who make art, films, graphics, and music. And while they might not be armed with weapons, they certainly have missions.

But bringing in outside funding is the only way to sustain an independent research-driven career in an academic setting.

They are not America's art police. There are no midnight raids, covert surveillance, or undercover operations. Most everything is done through cordial emails, polite phone calls, and, if necessary, civil court. While glamour is not top priority, make no mistake—the United States government wants its art back.

On March 18, a man "with no fixed abode" slashed Thomas Gainsborough's The Morning Walk with a screwdriver at London's National Gallery. He was quickly detained and the damage appears to be fixable—the paint was cut, but the screwdriver did not pierce the supporting canvas. Conservators are brilliant surgeons, and the scars should be invisible by the time they are done.

As obstructionist protests of controversial speakers spread, some say the future of the trend depends on how colleges and universities respond—namely what, if any, disciplinary action they take against participants. But just what action to take, and when, is tricky business.
