Enrol and pay online

In light of Manchester Art Gallery’s 2018 ‘Annie Swynnerton: Painting Light and Hope’ exhibition, this course explores the work of that bold late nineteenth- to early twentieth-century woman artist. Discover how she campaigned for women’s rights, forged an artistic career, and in 1922 became the first woman Associate Member of the Royal Academy of Arts, London since its foundation in 1768, all within a male-dominated art world. Encounter and learn about her skilful portraits, her shimmering nudes, and winged figures.
