South London Women Artists 2008
Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery launched South London Women Artists in April 2008. It offers a website on which women artists living or working in the Gallery area, that is in the boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham can can post a profile about their work. Participation is open and free.
SLWA aims to:
* provide a showcase for artist to display their work
* create a network amongst local artists
* draw on the support of Dulwich Picture Gallery
The idea for SLWA came from a lecture series on Women Artists which Dulwich Picture Gallery ran in June 2008. Few people can name women artists from before the 19th century since their role as professional women was strictly limited. Today women artists have achieved equal prominence with men. SLWA was created to celebrate this and to give prominence to women artists living or working in the Gallery area.
