Join us for a day of exploring the themes of Colour & Light with the exhibitions Curators.
The day will start with a tour of the exhibition by Keeper of Fine and Decorative Art, Victoria Partridge, followed by talks by Professor Christiana Payne on JMW Turner, Samuel Palmer and the painting of light.
Dr Mary O'Neill will consider the impact of travelling towards southern/eastern light on some of the artists in the exhibition.
Artist/producer Dr Alison Goodyear will share her journey from working with paint to working with virtual reality painting software and hardware as well as her innovative approach to collaboration.
