Collections Unwrapped
Series 2
The Friends of Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum are continuing their programme of regular monthly talks designed to stimulate and maintain interest in the famous Cheltenham Collections. These talks are being given by past and present curators and other acknowledged experts. They are taking place in the Regency Room at the Queen's Hotel, Imperial Square on Thursday evenings at monthly intervals. Each evening will start at 6.00pm with a complimentary glass of wine. The illustrated talk will start at 6.30pm and the evening will conclude by 7.30pm
Tickets, at £8 for Friends and £9 for non-Friends, are on sale in advance at the Tourist Information Centre in the Promenade, and also on the door. All proceeds go to the Friends for their continuing support of the Art Gallery & Museum development.
The autumn talks are inspired by Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum’s Arts and Crafts Movement collections: They will be held on the fourth Thursday of the month.
The spring talks all focus on the new development Building for a new future and the collections that will be on show in the new displays. They will be held on the first Thursday of the month.
Please note there has been a slight re-arrangement in the order of talks.
