Following on from the exhibition `Now You See Us.  Women Artists in Britain 1520-1920′ at Tate Britain (May-October 2024), we shall chart the course of women artists over a span of four centuries in their bid to become professional artists. Defying the expectations of society, the work of artists such as Artemisia Gentileschi, Angelica Kauffman and Laura Knight will reveal how these women celebrated their genius.

This is one of a series of eight weekly lectures on art history.

You can buy a ticket for all eight lectures for just £40 here

or you can buy a ticket for this event only for £7.50 here.

Doors open at 1:30pm for a 2pm start. The session is two hours long including an interval when we will serve tea and coffee.
