Join The Courtauld for an evening of culture after dark at our latest ‘After Hours’ event!
To celebrate our latest exhibition of new and recent works by Peter Doig – including paintings and works on paper created since the artist’s move from Trinidad to London in 2021 – this After Hours event will grant attendees the opportunity to make, hear and learn.
This After Hours event, produced by our MA History of Art Ekphrasis between Music and the Visual Arts, will explore our exhibitions and collection through music, meditation and intervention. This event is open and accessible to all. All materials will be provided on arrival.
Please note that valid identification will be required for staff, student, volunteer, friend and partner tickets.

Our After Hours series is produced as part of the Open Courtauld strand hosted by The Research Forum. This strand is all about sharing advanced research in art history, curating, and conservation, and is part of our Courtauld Connects project.
Aligning with The Courtauld’s digital events series ‘Open Courtauld Hour’ our ‘After Hours’ will broach contemporary issues in society through participatory activities that encourage new perspectives and thinking, focused on The Courtauld collection.
