AT THE WILLIAM MORRIS GALLERY!!
Immerse yourself in the artist's obsession with the human
form, the DJ's search for rare vinyl and the poet's preoccupation with words.
Inspired by our current special
exhibition, Rossetti’s Obsession - which explores Dante Gabriel
Rossetti’s infatuation with model Jane Morris – our next late night event
will celebrate the intense relationship between artists and their muses with
specially selected art, music, poetry, food and drink.
You will get the chance to capture the beauty of the
human form – perhaps the most enduring artistic obsession - with figure drawing
classes hosted by London Drawing, a collaboration between professional
artists, tutors and performers.*
DJ La Chica Yeye will play her own selection of
prog and psych rarities as well as curating Bring Your Own Vinyl sessions
throughout the night, where you can share your own rare or unusual records.
Meanwhile Walthamstow-based Forest
Poets and Sarah Doyle, the Pre-Raphaelite Society’s
poet-in-residence, will explore the poet’s preoccupation with metre, rhyme and
metaphor with readings in the Gallery’s Acanthus Room (the former servants'
quarters).
Throughout the evening the William Morris Gallery Tea
Room will serve five specially created dishes, each corresponding with one of
the five senses. You will also get to see Rossetti's Obsession and
explore the Gallery's permanent collection.
*Limited places available for life drawing, arrive early
to secure your slot and avoid disappointment.
