The Clark Art Institute presents a two-day symposium in celebration of its current exhibition, A Room of Her Own: Women Artist-Activists in Britain, 1875–1945. All events are free and open to the public and take place in the Manton Research Center auditorium. This symposium hosts an international group of scholars to explore how select artists featured in the Clark’s exhibition negotiated public and private spaces to establish professional careers as artists and thrive creatively. A keynote lecture on Virginia Woolf’s essay, A Room of One’s Own, begins the symposium Thursday, September 11. Vanessa Bell, May Morris, Mary Lowndes, and Gwen John are the subjects of four in-depth talks by art historians on Friday, September 12. See the Event Website for the complete schedule.
