Organised by Art UK
Art Unlocked is a new 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 Chantal Condron, Curator of Public Engagement at the Government Art Collection, for an exciting exploration of some notable works from this collection on 8th December 2021, 5:30pm.
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 Art UK alongside your ticket. Any donations are much appreciated and go towards supporting the UK's national collection.
