Yesterday, we had the most wonderful day celebrating the lives and work of Lily and Elizabeth Yeats at our annual symposium, which explored the theme of Cuala, a women’s art collective: artists, makers, poets. Thank you to everyone who contributed to its success.

The theme for our 2026 Symposium is: Cuala – a women’s arts collective: artists, makers, poets. So it's fascinating to see in Elizabeth's 1926 census return state her occupation as: 'artist' & 'employer' Details of our 2026 symposium at: theyeatssisters.com/2026-symposi...
