The studio is also recognising the importance of self-care by returning the class credit for any women attending the 4pm Nurturing Flow or 5:30pm Rest & Restore sessions that evening, a small gesture to celebrate those carving out time for themselves on International Women’s Day.
Arts & Culture for International Women’s Day
A View of One’s Own: Landscapes by British Women Artists at The Courtauld Gallery
For those looking to mark the occasion through culture, A View of One’s Own: Landscapes by British Women Artists, 1760–1860 at The Courtauld Gallery offers a powerful perspective on women in art history.
Running until 20 May 2026, the exhibition shines a spotlight on overlooked female artists from the Golden Age of British landscape art. Featuring delicate drawings and watercolours, the display explores the work of artists who continued to train, practice and exhibit despite the barriers women faced in the art world during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Visitors will discover works by figures including Harriet Lister, Lady Mary Lowther and Amelia Long, Lady Farnborough, alongside recently rediscovered pieces by Elizabeth Batty. The exhibition offers a fascinating glimpse into a creative legacy that deserves far greater recognition.
For anyone seeking inspiring International Women’s Day events centred around history, creativity and discovery, this exhibition is not to be missed.
