Women to watch in the arts list revealed.

An inaugural list of 50 women to watch in the arts has been chosen by a panel including the BBC’s Jenni Murray and playwright and actor Kwame Kwei-Armah.

The list includes directors, producers and curators who make a contribution to cultural life across the UK.

It said it hoped the women would redress gender balance at senior level in the cultural and creative sectors.

The list includes Moira Buffini, the National Theatre’s writer-in-residence; Seonaid Daly, producer of the Glasgow Film Festival and the Phoenix Dance Theatre’s artistic director Sharon Watson.
