Organised by Art UK
Art Unlocked is a online talk 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 Rebecca Newell, Head of Art at Imperial War Museums, for an exciting exploration of some notable works from this collection on 6th October 2021, 5:30pm (BST).
Art Unlocked is delivered over Zoom Webinar. You will be sent the link to join a few days before the talk is scheduled to take place. There will be a short Q&A session after the talk.
The talk is free but there is the option to donate to Art UK and Imperial War Museums alongside your ticket. Any donations are much appreciated and go towards supporting the UK's national collection.
