The Women's Art Collection: Conversation Not Spectacle Exhibition Opening

Conversation Not Spectacle explores the history and development of The Women’s Art Collection. Beginning with the artist-in residence scheme that seeded the idea for the Collection, the exhibition takes us through three decades, from the very first acquisition campaign all the way up to the present day where visitors can reflect on the Collection’s future.

Conversation Not Spectacle is the culmination of a two-year research project that aimed to maximise the role of The Women’s Art Collection within research and teaching activities at the University of Cambridge and unlock the Collection as a resource for the broader public. The project was funded by the Isaac Newton Trust, Arts Council England, the Bateman Family Charitable Trust and Mike, Isobel, and Olivia Standing.
