The first ever Behind the Scenes event at Towner takes
place next week, giving visitors the chance to look behind closed doors and find
out what goes on ‘back stage’ at the award
winning contemporary art museum.
‘Behind the Scenes’ is taking
place on 1 March and for those interested in art history, curating, conversation
or just curious to see what goes on beyond the displays, this event will be a
fantastic opportunity to meet staff and find out about all the work that goes
into looking after the Towner collection and presenting it to the
public.
‘Behind the Scenes’ will consist
of a series of inspiring talks, giving visitors an insight into how everything
comes together at Towner, as well as lunch, tea, coffee and cakes! Guest
speakers include Corinne Farmer; Conservator, Sara Cooper; Collections Curator
and Sanna Moore; Exhibitions Curator. Together they will deliver sneak previews,
discussions and demonstrations to inspire others.
‘Behind the Scenes’ is on Friday 1
March 11am – 3pm. Entrance is £35 or £30 with concessions. For Towner,
Bluemonkeynet and NADFAS members; tickets are £25. All money raised from the day will go to support
Towner’s Annual Schools & Colleges Exhibition.
For those who are interested in
the wide range of artworks housed in Towner’s collection store, there is also a
5 week course starting on 26 February called ‘The Collection at Towner’ in
