Glasgow Society of Lady Artists
This talk follows a group of young women who had connections to Glasgow School of Art.
In 1882, a group of young women who had connections to Glasgow School of Art, established the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists, thought to be the first women’s art society in Scotland. In 1893 they rented, and then purchased, no 5 Blythswood Square in Glasgow. The Club remained in these premises until the building was sold to the Scottish Arts Council in 1971.
The Glasgow Society of Lady Artists renamed themselves the Glasgow Society of Women Artists when they reformed in the early 1970s. Mary Armour was one of the longest lived of the Lady Artist members, joining in 1930. Failing eyesight meant she stopped painting in the late 1980s but she lived to see through the new millennium in 2000.
