Medical Artists’ Association of GB - Conference April 2027 - Glasgow
Date: Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd April 2027
Venue: The conference will be held in the historic city of Glasgow, at the University of Glasgow Anatomy Department and Anatomy Museum. Including a visit to the Hunterian Museum. There will be a visit to view the Royal College of Physicians' heritage collections, including William McEwan and The Birds of America Book by John James Audubon
The conference: Glasgow’s has a rich medical and artistic heritage while also looking ahead to the evolving landscape of image creation, communication, and healthcare. This will include the role of traditional anatomical illustration in contemporary practice, the influence of historical collections on modern visual storytelling, and the use of emerging digital tools. We aim to create a programme that celebrates both the craft and history of medical art and the innovative approaches shaping its future.
