For Universities, Colleges and Other Adult Groups We Offer…
Virtual Sessions:
We have brought all our adult talks online for you to enjoy from the comfort of your own home with our virtual sessions:
What Are Virtual Sessions and How Do They Work?
These talks on art and art history are live, last an hour and include time for questions. We are currently working on different online platforms, including Zoom, Google Meet and Jitsi. We will arrange a test run of the talk a week before it is scheduled to iron out any technical issues. Please scroll to the bottom of the page to see the full range of talks we offer.
