“A Room of Her Own: Women Artist-Activists in Britain, 1875-1945”

With a nod to the sentiment behind Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own and the need for women to discover their own creativity in their own space, at The Clark in Williamstown presents “A Room of Her Own: Women Artist-Activists in Britain, 1875–1945” and the work of 25 professional women artists who were active during Woolf’s lifetime. Curated by Clark associate curator Alexis Goodin and featuring paintings, drawings, prints, stained glass, embroidery and other decorative art forms, this exhibition explores the private spaces that afforded these women a place to discover their talents, including their studios, art schools, clubs and the public venues that gave them opportunities to exhibit, protest, and cultivate community.
