Between March 2021 and March 2022,

the Scottish Women and the Arts Research Network (SWARN) supported and facilitated a series of small-scale events amongst its membership celebrating the life and work of the artist Joan Eardley (1921-1963).

To mark 100 years since her birth, exhibitions, workshops and spotlight displays were organised by individual member institutions throughout the year of her centenary.
