Scottish Women Artists: 250 Years of Challenging Perception

This important exhibition Scottish Women Artists - 250 Years of Challenging Perception celebrates the work of women artists who have challenged and shaped the contemporary art scene in Scotland. In an era when women lead Scotland’s government, galleries and art schools, it is easy to forget the prejudices and barriers their predecessors have faced.
The exhibition is organised with The Fleming Collection, one of the finest private collections of Scottish art in the world, and which includes many significant 'firsts'; from Catherine Read (1723-78), who was the first formally trained Scottish woman artist in the 18th century, to Dame Elizabeth Blackadder (1931-2023), the first woman elected to both the Royal Academy and the Royal Scottish Academy. Amongst these important figures are innovative and experimental 21st century women artists: Moyna Flannigan and Caroline Walker, exhibiting alongside their contemporaries Christine Borland, Rachel Maclean, and Alberta Whittle, as well as many others.
