Welcome to the official Scottish Women in the Arts Research Network website!
This website is part of our wider set of objectives in sharing knowledge of Scottish women
artists, designers, and collectors in public collections, and we have a number of exciting
developments in the pipeline to bring these stories alive.
This year SWARN’s main activities revolve around the Eardley100 celebrations. 2021 marks
the centenary of Joan Eardley’s (1921-1963) birth, and SWARN are supporting and
facilitating a series of small-scale events amongst its membership to celebrate her life and
work. A full list of these can be found on the official Joan Eardley website, and if you have
your own Eardley100 event to promote you can have it listed by submitting the event form
in the link below.
Alongside the Eardley100 events we aim to cast light on many more Scottish women artists
in the form of workshops, exhibition and book reviews, blog posts, study days, and a
bibliographical reference section for all your research needs. In the meantime, please feel
free to browse our website and follow us on Twitter via @SWARNetwork
