SOLD OUT – Curator-led tour of Now You See Us at Tate Britain

Join us for a private tour with curator Tabitha Barber, who will lead us through Tate Britian’s current exhibition Now You See Us: Women Artists in Britain 1520–1920.

Spanning 400 years, Now You See Us follows women on their journeys to becoming professional artists. From Tudor times to the First World War, artists such as Mary Beale, Angelica Kauffman, Sarah Biffin, Laura Knight and Vanessa Bell paved a new artistic path for generations of women. They challenged what it meant to be a working woman of the time by going against society’s expectations – having commercial careers as artists and taking part in public exhibitions.

Including over 150 works, the show dismantles stereotypes surrounding women artists in history, who were often thought of as amateurs. The exhibition sheds light on how these artists championed equal access to art training and academy membership, breaking boundaries and overcoming many obstacles to establish what it meant to be a woman in the art world.
