What’s On
Join Curator of British Art Jo Meacock as she explores the lives and artworks of Glasgow women artists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Artists who studied at Glasgow School of Art, were members of the pioneering Glasgow Society of Lady Artists and independent New Art Club, who fought for female suffrage, for recognition in male-dominated institutions, were forced to give up teaching because of the Marriage Bar and who faced all kinds of challenges as they sought to juggle motherhood, domestic life and professional careers, and attain equality with their male peers. The tour will include artists such as Norah Neilson Gray, Bessie MacNicol, Chris Fergusson, Mary Armour, Millie Frood and Louise Annand.
