Organised by Art UK

The latest in the Art Unlocked series. Join Art UK and Williamson Art Gallery and Museum 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 Niall Hodson, Curator at the Williamson Art Gallery and Museum, for an exciting exploration of some notable works from this collection on 14th December 2022, 5:30pm. In this talk you will learn about the terrifying and tragic Greek tale of the sorcerer Medea – and how it inspired the English painter Evelyn de Morgan.
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 Williamson Art Gallery and Museum alongside your ticket. Any donations are much appreciated. The Henry Moret painting featured in this talk is currently without a frame. The Williamson Art Gallery and Museum are currently trying to raise £500 to have this picture framed so it can go on display.
