From the Collection: Women Artists

Northampton Museum And Art Gallery 4-6 Guildhall Rd,, Northampton, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom

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.

Carnegie Talk: ‘And then they were hanged.’ a talk by Richard Blacklee

Northampton Central Library Abington Street, Northampton, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom

The true story of two Northamptonshire criminal gangs who faced justice at Northampton’s County Buildings in the C18th. The talk will include information about the Sessions House and County Gaol. Whilst writing a book about the Culworth Gang I researched where they were imprisoned, tried and hanged in Northampton (in 1787) – I was disappointed to find there was no guide book available for this range of fascinating buildings at the heart of the town. Initially I wrote a single page information sheet about each building, intended for free distribution from the Town’s Information office.  The content was extended and reworked into a book after the Information Office was closed. Gaols, Gallows and Ghosts was published in 2023. Please contact Central Library with any queries on: northampton.libraryplus@westnorthants.gov.uk
