January - March 2026 programme
Join ARTscapades to explore exciting art through online talks and study courses led by expert speakers, curators and authors. We are grateful for your support which enables profits from our ticket sales to help UK museums and arts-based organisations.
Book now for our upcoming curator talks on the major exhibition Turner & Constable: Rivals & Originals at Tate Britain with Amy Concannon, and Love & Landscape: Stanley Spencer in Suffolk, at Gainsborough House with Amy Lim.
The Wallace Collection is exhibiting Caravaggio’s the Victorious Cupid on loan from the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, never seen in the UK before. In our ARTscapades Study Evening on 17 February, Richard Stemp explores the painting in detail, discovering its place in Caravaggio’s career and in the culture of early 17th-century Rome.
Focusing on British art and artists, in March we bring you authors Charlotte Mullins with The Story of ‘British’ Art and Martin Gayford on his new book, My Heart is This, offering a uniquely personal insight into the extraordinary life and career of Tracey Emin.
All events take place via Zoom Webinar and can be watched live including Q&A. Ticket holders will be emailed a link to join 24 hours in advance. In case you can’t make it on the day, ticket holders will also receive a link to view a recording of the talk, which will be available for one month.
