W is for...Whistler at Tate Britain

*“A luscious, seductive blockbuster.”* (Jonathan Jones, *Guardian*) **Join us at Tate Britain as we explore the work of the rule-breaking American artist James McNeill Whistler...** A truly global figure, Whistler re-wrote the rules of what it meant to be an artist. He pioneered new and innovative techniques, creating astonishingly beautiful, ethereal visions of modern life that would earn him a place as one of the most influential artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. This retrospective – the first major European exhibition of Whistler’s work in 30 years – brings together the artist’s world-famous paintings alongside rarely, or never seen, works. It includes exquisite portraits, drawings, prints, and designs, from as early as his teens in St. Petersburg to the enigmatic late self-portraits. The exhibition presents both a boldly experimental artist and cosmopolitan celebrity, disrupting the conventions of Victorian society in pursuit of truth, beauty, and progress **Read more here:** https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/whistler **MEET DETAILS:** **FROM 1.45pm: MEET IN TATE BRITAIN DJANOGLY CAFE (optional)** Tate Britain, Millbank, London SW1P 4RG Look out for host/s who will be wearing LoMAZ badges. **2.30pm: ENTER THE EXHIBITION** Tate Britain, Millbank, London SW1P 4RG **4.15pm - Late: PUB SOCIAL (optional)** ***Location tbc 48 hours before event*** **TICKETS:** **You will need to purchase your own ticket for this event.** **Please book here:** https://shop.tate.org.uk/ticket/date?cgid=375283 and choose the 2:30pm slot (or thereabouts).

V for Van Gogh House London

**Join us at the Van Gogh House London for a guided tour at 3.30pm of the residence of a young Van Gogh from 1873-4.** 87 Hackford Road is a Grade II listed building that has been renovated and conserved by the Wang family. Built in the 1820s, by 2012 the property had fallen into a state of disrepair. Bordering on dereliction, the building was purchased at auction by James Wang and Alice Childs, who saw the potential to bring this cultural landmark back to life. Conservation works took place over the next 7 years, guided by an ambition to save as much existing material as possible, and making sensitive repairs where necessary. It was important for the house to remain first and foremost a dwelling – and not a museum, allowing it to remain in practical use as a home as well as a venue for artist residencies and exhibitions. Read more about the renovation project by following the links below. **MEET DETAILS:** **FROM 3.15pm: MEET AT/ AROUND the entrance of the building.** Address: 87 Hackford Road London SW9 0RE **3.30pm: GUIDED TOUR OF THE MUSEUM (Tour lasts around 75 minutes and is open the public who we will be competing with to buy tickets!)** **4.45-Late: PUB SOCIAL (optional)** We'll head to a local pub for a social chit chat over drinks. ***Location tbc 48 hours before event in the whatsapp group for the event.*** **TICKETS:** **You will need to purchase your own ticket for this event.** **Please book [here](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/vangoghhouselondon)** and choose the 3.30pm tour. Ticket: £15 (plus VAT- £18) Concessions - student / Friends of VGH - £13.50 (plus VAT) We have a limit to be 10 people for pre booking this tour, but please do let me know if they have sold out when you’re booking.
