Thursday Late | Art of Appearance

We’re open until 8.30pm one Thursday each month (except May and November), when you can enjoy our collection and exhibitions after hours, with talks and workshops, free tours and creative activities, and live courtyard music from June to September. Pallant Café is open serving food and drinks, and the Bookshop is open with art books, prints, and gifts.

Join us in April for a Thursday Late event looking at the art of appearance.

In a special talk (tickets sold separately – BOOK HERE), celebrated curator and aesthete Stephen Calloway invites us into the fascinating world of self-fashioning – revealing how William Nicholson’s evolving persona, captured in portraits and photographs across his long career, became one of his most enduring works of art.

There will be a Library show and tell session, a curator’s tour of William Nicholson, life drawing with award winning artist Wendy Barratt and a studio drink and draw workshop.
