Thursday Late | Ideas for Sculpture

We’re open until 8.30pm one Thursday a month (apart from our changeover months of May and November), when you can take in our collection and exhibitions after hours. Enjoy talks and studio workshops, as well as free tours and drop in creative activities, plus live music in the courtyard from June to September. Pallant Café will be open serving a selection of food & drink and you can browse the Bookshop’s fabulous art books, prints and gifts.

July is inspired by our Print Room exhibition Ideas for Sculpture, where we’ll be exploring this 3D art form through an exclusive talk. Co-presenters of the Sculpting Lives podcast, Jo Baring (Director of the Ingram Collection of Modern British & Contemporary Art) and Sarah Victoria Turner (Director of the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art), will discuss Modern and Contemporary British women sculptors, including women artists on display at the Gallery such as Rana Begum, Barbara Hepworth and Rachel Whiteread.
