Thursday Late | Portraits of Artists

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.

In October explore our headline exhibition Seeing Each Other: Portraits of Artists with a special talk and tour. Hear from exhibiting artists Chantal Joffe and Ishbel Myerscough in conversation with the Gallery’s Chief Curator Melanie Vandenbrouck on their life-long friendship and the place it holds in their practice. This conversation will provide a unique insight into the way artists see themselves and each other. Proudly supported by Principal Partner, Dreweatts.
