Members' talk and Q&A
About
Celebrate the festive season with us by sharing your favourite winter paintings.
In this interactive talk, art educator Jon Sleigh will curate a bespoke talk on six paintings from the Gallery’s collection, as suggested by you, our Members.
Our subject is winter. When you hear ‘winter’, what paintings come to mind? It’s a season that runs through our collection: icy scenes, stormy weather, people gathered for warmth, people joined in celebration, and depictions of religious narratives. We want to know your favourite.
Send us your favourite by Tuesday 5 November, and we will select six to discuss in detail at this live event.
The final six could be paintings you already love or something new for you to fall in love with. Jon will guide us through a fresh encounter with these artworks in stunning detail. You’ll even get the chance to share your final favourites with live polling.
Join us for this vibrant online event to discuss your highlights from the collection.
