Organised by Art UK
The latest in the Art Unlocked series. Join Art UK and Compton Verney in exploring artworks from their collection.
About this event
Art Unlocked is an online event series brought to you by Art UK in collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies. Each week, different museum and gallery curators and directors from across the UK will deliver a 30-minute talk on selected works from their collection.
For our latest talk, join Art UK and Oli McCall, Curator, at Compton Verney, for an exciting exploration of some notable works from this collection on 7th December 2022, 5:30pm. In this talk you will find out how Compton Verney’s unique mix of collections was assembled, and how they continue to be relevant to our audiences.
Art Unlocked is delivered over Zoom Webinar and can be accessed via the event page once you have registered. There will be a short Q&A session after the talk.
The talk is free but there is the option to donate to Compton Verney alongside your ticket. Any donations are much appreciated and will go towards the restoration of Compton Verney's historic bridge.
