Museums at Night—Great Women Artists

"Why have there been no great women artists?" Join us for an insightful evening where we challenge Linda Nochlin’s controversial question by shining a light on the women behind the art.

Join us for this special Museums at Night event and enjoy two insightful talks, cocktails and great art.

Want to discover more women artists? Well we have 50 of them currently on display! "Fifty works by Fifty British Women Artists 1900–1950" is an exhibition which pays tribute to the extraordinary cultural production of 50 women artists who lived and worked in Britain during the first half of the 20th century.

At this exclusive after-hours event you will join curator Sacha Llewellyn from Liss Llewellyn Fine Art, as she takes you behind the scenes and goes through the process of curating the 50/50 exhibition. Explore the amazing stories of the women behind the art on display.

You will also hear from Yorkshire artist Katharine Holmes and discover a local story, as she talks about the women in her family and the three generations of art-making that influence her practice.

Throughout the evening you can enjoy drinks, nibbles and a lot of wonderful conversations.

With only 50 spaces book now so you don’t miss out.
