THIS EXHIBITION HAS NOW CLOSED

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR CURRENT EXHIBITIONS

A celebration of women in British art - past, present and future.

In a year of national milestones, the RWA marks the impact of female artists on our country's artistic landscape with four diverse exhibitions of historic and contemporary works.

These exhibitions are Frink-Blow-Lawson, Women of the RWA, Cornelia Parker: One Day This Glass Will Break and Anne Redpath ARA RWA RSA.

Women with Vision coincides with the Vote100 celebrations, marking the centenary of British women's suffrage. The exhibitions also commemorate 160 years since the RWA first opened its doors and 250 years since London's Royal Academy was founded. Featuring members of both Academies, Women with Vision celebrates the pivotal roles the artists have played in the histories of both institutions.

A ticket to Women with Vision grants you access to all of the galleries. Please note, Cornelia Parker: One Day This Glass Will Break and Anne Redpath RA RWA RSA do not run concurrently.
