What's on
On 19 September we are delighted to be part of the Association for Art History’s ‘Art History Festival 2025’. Broadcaster James Fox discusses his new book, ‘Craftland’, and you can enjoy life drawing with London Drawing and music from St Martin’s Voices and Rob St John.
Join Articulation alumni on 24 October as they quiz curator Chris Riopelle about the art of the Neo-Impressionists, or hear comedian and art historian Verity Babs explore the funny side of art history. The night's events include musical performance by Louise McMonagle and life drawing with Originary Arts.
On 21 November, singer-songwriter and art historian David McAlmont gives a performance lecture to mark the 200th anniversary of the death of Jacques Louis David, alongside poetry readings from Obsidian Foundation and life drawing with Early Masterworks life drawing club.
Make your Friday a night to remember by joining us for dinner at Ochre, our luxurious bar and restaurant. Enjoy artistically crafted dishes, paired with selected wines and signature cocktails. Book your table quoting ‘Friday Lates’, to get a complimentary glass of bubbles.
