A catalogue and exhibition in 1996 curated by Falmouth Art Gallery’s then Curator Cath Wallace highlighted the importance of Women Artists in Cornwall from 1880 to 1940, and addressed their under-representation. The gallery wishes to build on its already strong collection of work by actively collecting the best of Women Artists in Cornwall.
