This talk from Esther Reed and the Nethergate Writers was postponed from May due to an unfortunately timed power cut, we are sorry about the disappointment in this last minute cancellation but we have managed to reschedule this event.

Please join us on Tuesday 4th June at 6pm to hear readings from the authors of ‘A Private View’, and take a guided tour of the objects which inspired the authors from 5pm. Tours should last no longer than 15 minutes, with tours at 5pm, 5.15pm, and 5.30pm.

What factors draw us towards a piece of art or a particular exhibit in a museum’s collection?  The stories and poems in the anthology, ‘A Private View’, by Nethergate Writes, were all inspired by objects in the McManus’s collections. Hear them read from their work and see for yourself the art/artefacts they chose. In what way will the interaction between the two influence your own response to both?

Everyone is welcome to join us for this FREE event in the cafe at The McManus Galleries. Doors open at 5pm with talks starting at 6pm, please arrive early to avoid disappointment. The event is likely to last one hour. The cafe will be serving a selection of snacks, hot and cold drinks, including wine and beer.
