Out of Hours - Drawing the Unspeakable
January 23rd 2025
6.00 - 8.00 pm
Towner Eastbourne
BN21 4JJ
Blue Monkey artist Network is delighted to have been given out-of-hours access to the current Drawing the Unspeakable exhibition at Towner. There will be a short amount of time to look around the exhibition and then Blue Monkey Network member June Nelson will lead the evening where a few members will share their thoughts on one or two drawings in the exhibition. There will be an opportunity for discussion as well as seeing the exhibition. As this is an extensive exhibition with over 300 works, we do recommend that you go and see the exhibition for yourselves as the time we have for our event will just be highlighting a handful of works.
This event is free to Network members and £5 for visitors.
Please note that the exhibition contains sensitive themes.
You can find out more about the exhibition on the Towner website here.
Please note: Drinks are not allowed in the gallery space.
If you are planning on attending one of our events and have any access needs, please let us know in advance.
Blue Monkey Network is run by artists for artists, in partnership with Towner Eastbourne, and is entirely funded by membership subscriptions and donations. Many thanks to all our supporters.
COMING UP
4x10
Thursday 20th February 2025,
6.00 - 8.00 pm
Towner Eastbourne
BN21 4JJ
In February we are delighted to be introducing 4 of our members for our popular 4x10 event where we have asked 4 artists do a short 10 minute talk about their practice. This Pecha Kucha style event, previously run as 5x5, gives us the opportunity to get to know more about the work and inspirations of fellow members, providing opportunities to network and potentially collaborate. As usual we will be showcasing a mix of artists which demonstrates the diversity of our artist network. There will be an opportunity to network before the event starts and time for questions during the event.
