Chichester Social Group

Join us for our fourth annual evening of performance, art and celebration in collaboration with Chichester Pride, a volunteer led organisation created to support the local LGBTQIA+ community and its allies. This event is very popular so be sure to book early to avoid disappointment.

Enjoy free access to the galleries including the latest exhibition Seeing Each Other: Portraits of Artists accompanied by creative activities, tours and, from 7pm, an incredible line-up of entertainment in the courtyard garden.

At 6pm you can join author Peter Parker, in conversation with Gallery Director Simon Martin, as they discuss Peter’s book Some Men in London. This insightful anthology chronicles the history and reality of life for queer men in London following the Second World War, including several artists featured in our latest exhibition.
Please note this talk is ticketed separately.

Between 5.30 – 8.30pm get creative in our drop-in studio workshop to make a miniature pride parade inspired by Lubiana Himid’s vibrant cut-out figures featured in our Seeing Each Other: Portraits of Artists exhibition.

Between 6.30 – 8.30pm be inspired by portraiture and learn to draw your ‘bestie’ or your ‘nextie’ with guided exercises from artist Alej Ez. Learn with simple steps to draw a portrait of a friend or the person next to you in this drop-in workshop.

At 7.30pm you can join Chief Curator Melanie Vandenbrouck for a tour focussing on Queer representation and portraiture within our Seeing Each Other: Portraits of Artists exhibition.

Emily is a renowned choral conductor and professional singer with an unmistakeably beautiful voice that has led to her touring and performing with many international artists. She will be performing songs from her acclaimed debut album, “Vapour Trails” at two very special candlelit events at the Novium Museum.

Emily trained at Paul McCartneyʼs Institute for Performing Arts before embarking on her remarkable musical journey as a choir leader, composer and as a bubbly, charismatic performer. Vapour Trails was released last year and is the story of her personal journey through love, life and travel.

“Terrific songs, lyrics straight out of a very real heart. A great romantic with her feet firmly on the ground.”
