Exhibition

Making Her Mark: A Celebration of Women in Art

30 April - 27 September 2026
10am - 4.30pm

A new exhibition exploring 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.

Making Her Mark celebrates notable female artists from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day, with extraordinary works by Elizabeth Forbes, Laura Knight, Dod Procter, Caroline Walker, Tracey Emin and Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, amongst many more.

This unique collaboration between Penlee House Gallery & Museum, Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum and Kirkcaldy Galleries, part of cultural charity OnFife, brings together over 50 works by women artists from their respective collections.

This major 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.
