About SWARN
Bessie MacNicol, Lamplight, 1901, © The Hunterian, University of Glasgow.
The Scottish Women and the Arts Research Network (SWARN) encourages and promotes research on the work of historic women artists, designers, makers and collectors in Scottish collections.
​
​
We aim to enhance the visibility of women makers in the fine arts, design, craft and architecture in public collections, especially those who cannot be easily categorised within traditional canons of art history, or whose work survives isolated and scattered.
