A two-day in-person event exploring the relationship between art and the written word in Scotland.
Day 2 of a two-day event
The Scottish Society for Art History in partnership with the National Library of Scotland presents a two-day in-person event exploring the relationship between art and the written word in Scotland.
Scottish art has long been inspired by literature, while Scottish artists and publishers have made fundamental contributions in the fields of book and magazine illustration, advertising posters, comics, graphic novels and artists' books. In turn, there has been a significant body of writings on Scottish art in both fiction and non-fiction, and many outstanding collaborations between artists and writers.
This conference will share current research and critical debate into the myriad relationships between art and text and our programme features artists, writers, curators, archivists, art historians, literary and linguistic scholars and interdisciplinary researchers. We are delighted to have acclaimed art critic Clare Henry as our keynote speaker.

The Scottish Society for Art History is a registered Scottish charity (SC035621) which exists to promote and support the study and enjoyment of art and art history in Scotland.
