Thursday Lates: From the Studio

Join us for a specially curated evening celebrating our major exhibition, Picasso: From the Studio. 

The public programme will take inspiration from a number of influences within Picasso’s life and work through music, film, food, fashion and design, talks and guided tours in both French and Spanish.  Further inspiration will come from the concept of the artist in their studio, a unique workspace environment dedicated to the creative process. In keeping with the theme, the Gallery Café will have French and Spanish food and drink available to purchase on the night, from 5pm-8pm.
