Ulster Society of Women Artists
The Ulster Society of Women Artists was founded in 1957 by Gladys Maccabe and Olive Henry as there were no societies that would accept female members. The patron of the society was the Duchess of Abercorn. The society aims "to promote and encourage a high standard of art in Northern Ireland, to maintain a high standard in exhibitions that reflects upon the membership, and to actively seek out and encourage new talent".
It holds an annual exhibition of members work.
