Organised by Art UK
The latest in the Art Unlocked series. Join Art UK and Penlee House Gallery & Museum in exploring selected 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, on 16th November 2022, 5:30pm, join Art UK and Michael Harris, Curator & Deputy Director, for an exciting exploration of the collection at Penlee House Gallery & Museum. In this talk you'll discover which rare and unusual object, painted in Penzance in 1889, turned up recently in an episode of The Repair Shop.
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 Penlee House Gallery & Museum alongside your ticket. Any donations are much appreciated and will go towards funding the glazing of Elizabeth Adela Forbes’s painting School is Out.
