Open Late
Event detail
Join us for the second instalment of Open Late 2026, an after-hours evening of art, music, performance, food and immersive experiences.
As the Gallery opens after dark, a programme of talks, performances and creative experiences inspired by our current exhibitions will invite you to encounter art in new and unexpected ways. Over the evening, enjoy live music, dance, a bar, food vendors and a photobooth celebrating Qixi, Chinese Valentine’s Day.
