Women have always made art, but for centuries formal recognition of their work has been hampered by patriarchal social, cultural and economic structures.
In this one-day intensive, spend the day at the NGV learning from NGV curators and education specialists about the unique contributions of women to art and design history through a study of historical and contemporary art and design from Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia in the NGV Collection.

Through this one-day course, participants will be able to:
- Common historical, social and institutional frameworks and legacies impacting the visibility and recognition of women artists and designers in history.
- Key works by women artists and designers, and the reasons they are considered important in historical, artistic and cultural contexts.
