Organised by Art UK
The latest in the Art Unlocked series. Join Art UK and The Armitt 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, join Art UK and Faye Morrissey, Manager & Curator at The Armitt, for an exciting exploration of some notable works from this collection on 14th September 2022, 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 The Armitt alongside your ticket. Any donations are much appreciated and go towards supporting the UK's national collection.
About The Armitt
The contents of The Armitt’s art collection reflects the history and heritage of Ambleside in the wider context of the development of the Lake District as a whole.
Once the Lake District had been “discovered”, many artists made visits, excursions, and tours to record their impressions.
Within the collection, The Armitt has work by William Green, the Armitt sisters, Joseph Farington, the Collingwoods, Frederic Yates, and from more recent times, the mycological studies of Beatrix Potter, and the avant-garde artist, Kurt Schwitters.
