Making Her Mark: A Celebration of Women in Art

Saturday 16 January – Sunday 13 June 2027 | Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum Making Her Mark explores the role, impact and legacy of women in art. Women have made huge impacts on the development of British art. However, they have often been underrepresented, overlooked and undervalued in their fields. Celebrating notable female artists from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day, see extraordinary works by Elizabeth Forbes, Laura Knight, Dod Procter, Caroline Walker, Tracey Emin and Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, amongst many more in the exhibition here in Worcester. Over the years, women artists have had to navigate the impact of lack of access to art academies and societies, along with the struggle for recognition and representation. The exhibition also explores the significance of the self-portrait for these artists, as well as the power to be found in collaboration. This exciting new exhibition is formed through a unique collaboration between Penlee House Gallery & Museum, Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum and Kirkcaldy Galleries, part of cultural charity OnFife, bringing together over 50 works by women artists from their respective collections. The exhibition is part of Going Places, an Art Fund programme made possible with major support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Julia Rausing Trust. Exhibition admission Tickets are required to visit this exhibition. There are a variety of ticket options to choose from. You’re welcome to pay in the shop when you arrive or secure your preferred slot by booking in advance now. The rest of the Art Gallery and Museum is free to visit as usual. The exhibition is open from 10am to 4pm Tuesday to Saturday, and 10am to 3pm on Sunday. Last entry is one hour before closing.
