What's on

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.

This December join us in the Sainsbury Wing for a special digital takeover, showcasing newly commissioned content. Discover how new technologies can create deeper connections between our paintings and visitors. We also welcome students from London Contemporary Dance School who present site-specific interventions around the gallery.

In January, Courtauld curator Karen Serres joins Chiara Di Stefano and Julien Domercq, co-curators of our ‘Radical Harmony' exhibition to discuss the pioneering art of Georges Seurat. Our friends and neighbours from St Martin's Voices perform short repertoires of songs to celebrate the birthday of Edouard Manet.

February sees the return of creative studio WE ARE SOUL, who present an evening of films curated in response to Degas' 'Ballet Dancers'. Our ever popular life drawing sessions return, hosted by 2B Or Not 2B Collective, alongside other creative sessions in our Clore Art Studio.
