SUMMARY:From the Collection: Women Artists
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:Party Season
DESCRIPTION:PAY WHAT YOU CAN: Join us for the Relaxed performance on Saturday 11 April at 2.30pm. A great option for parents\, with babes in arms welcome\, and a more informal atmosphere designed to help audiences feel comfortable. Relaxed performances are open to everyone. \n\n \nThree parties. One weekend. The invitations have been sent and there’s no going back…it’s Party Season! \nXander is back in town\, and this weekend he’s on parenting duty. The kids are in the ball pit; the Entertainer is blowing bubbles; the adults gobble Perelló olives and pretend to like each other. As ancient grudges rear their heads\, the tension rises like a helium balloon. Caught between who he was and who he’s supposed to be\, Xander must decide whether he’s going to grow up or just pass the parcel. \nFrom the multi-award-winning creators of Education\, Education\, Education and The Last Of The Pelican Daughters comes a sugar-fuelled\, bobbin-winding fever dream where class identities collide\, social niceties unravel\, and underslept parents do their best to hold it all together. \nParty Season is a razor-sharp new comedy about privilege\, party rings and the pressures of being a parent. RSVP! \nA Royal & Derngate\, Northampton\, Wardrobe Ensemble and Lowry co-production \nAudience Notices: This production contains Strong Language\, Use of Haze\, Flashing Lights (no strobes) and Loud Noises throughout.

SUMMARY:From the Collection: Women Artists
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:Party Season
DESCRIPTION:PAY WHAT YOU CAN: Join us for the Relaxed performance on Saturday 11 April at 2.30pm. A great option for parents\, with babes in arms welcome\, and a more informal atmosphere designed to help audiences feel comfortable. Relaxed performances are open to everyone. \n\n \nThree parties. One weekend. The invitations have been sent and there’s no going back…it’s Party Season! \nXander is back in town\, and this weekend he’s on parenting duty. The kids are in the ball pit; the Entertainer is blowing bubbles; the adults gobble Perelló olives and pretend to like each other. As ancient grudges rear their heads\, the tension rises like a helium balloon. Caught between who he was and who he’s supposed to be\, Xander must decide whether he’s going to grow up or just pass the parcel. \nFrom the multi-award-winning creators of Education\, Education\, Education and The Last Of The Pelican Daughters comes a sugar-fuelled\, bobbin-winding fever dream where class identities collide\, social niceties unravel\, and underslept parents do their best to hold it all together. \nParty Season is a razor-sharp new comedy about privilege\, party rings and the pressures of being a parent. RSVP! \nA Royal & Derngate\, Northampton\, Wardrobe Ensemble and Lowry co-production \nAudience Notices: This production contains Strong Language\, Use of Haze\, Flashing Lights (no strobes) and Loud Noises throughout.
