Join an international group of scholars to explore how select artists featured in A Room of Her Own: Women Artist-Activists in Britain, 1875–1945 negotiated public and private spaces to establish professional careers as artists and thrive creatively.
The exhibition, on view at the Clark through September 14, celebrates the achievements of twenty-five women across the fine and decorative arts and features paintings, drawings, prints, stained glass, and embroidery. Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s essay “A Room of One’s Own” (1929), the exhibition examines the spaces—homes, studios, art schools, and exhibition sites—that were vital to creative production and professional success.
Free. Advance registration recommended.
