Celebration. Commemoration. Demonstration
'The Triumph of Art' by artist Jeremy Deller is a nationwide performance that takes us towards and finally rounds off our Bicentenary celebrations. It marks how festivals are part and parcel of art, culture and civic life, and that art and artists can be catalysts of collaboration and joy.
This summer will see new participatory public events in all four Nations produced in partnership with The Box, Plymouth, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee, Mostyn Gallery Llandudno and The Playhouse in Derry-Londonderry.
For our final event in July, we take over Trafalgar Square for a free, family friendly celebration with contributions from all four nations.
You can expect processions, performances, parades and parties that bring the National Gallery Collection to life and round off our Bicentenary year.
