From the Collection: Women Artists

Northampton Museum And Art Gallery 4-6 Guildhall Rd,, Northampton

An exhibition of artworks from NMAG's collection celebrates the variety of genres, methods and media used by women artists, from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century. Northampton Museum & Art Gallery Saturday 11 November - Sunday 12 April 2026 Throughout history, both men and women have created art, yet only a select few have been remembered within Western art history. Art by men was historically valued more highly than art by women, reflecting broader beliefs that only men could possess artistic or creative genius. Certain genres and mediums were also considered more prestigious, while work made in the domestic sphere was dismissed as craft or decoration rather than recognised as fine art. Women were barred from studying nude figures a crucial part of classical art training until the late 1800s. Second-wave feminism in the twentieth century, and wider social changes in the twenty-first, have challenged these hierarchies. Today, women are at the forefront of artistic production, with artists such as Tracey Emin, Maggi Hambling, Rachel Whiteread and Jasleen Kaur recognised as leading voices in contemporary art.

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

Fresh from starring in the latest series of Taskmaster, Ania Magliano (Live At The Apollo, Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Show Nominee) brings a brand-new show full of jokes, confessions, and occasionally unhinged observations to venues nationwide. From the quirks of her own body to the legend that is Eve (yes, from Adam and), to her newly discovered boundaries, Peach Fuzz is Ania at her most relatable – and most funny. Ania has opened for Ed Gamble, Marc Maron and Catherine Cohen, and writes for Amelia Dimoldenberg’s Chicken Shop Date. Her choices on the Off Menu podcast are widely regarded as the worst of all time.
