We have been offered an introductory talk with Q and A at Walker Art Gallery for above visit.
This will be £110 for a group, about £7 each depending on numbers.
I think it’s a good idea, as we are all of differing opinions about the art work on display. It would shed some light on reasons why, what, etc.
Let me know if it is of interest or we can do our usual self guided visit. Free

This exhibition will mark 250 years since the birth of JMW Turner, exploring both the artist’s own work and his enduring impact on later generations of artists. Turner: Always Contemporary will include National Museums Liverpool’s collection of Turner’s oil paintings, works on paper and prints, alongside modern and contemporary artworks that delve into themes of travel, landscape, and artistic experimentation. A number of important and influential loaned works will also feature.
It will offer fresh perspectives on Turner and his legacy, highlighting how he grappled with issues that remain relevant today: climate change, immigration, tourism, and the role of the artist. Alongside Turner’s works, visitors will encounter pieces by Claude Monet, Ethel Walker, Bridget Riley and many more, bringing together 250 years of art to examine Turner’s timeless appeal.

Dawn to Dusk . Jim Moir is Vic Reeves Art has always remained his first love and his original, eccentric and mischievous artwork has been exhibited at Institutions including the Royal Academy in London. The anarchy and wonderful eccentricity, which he is synonymous with, is evident in his bold, vibrant and often surreal artworks which merge his interest in the natural world and his witty imagination.
‘Moir is a compulsive artist, recording his thoughts and observations with abandon. The imagined and experienced worlds are chronicled in a prolific outpouring of ideas and thoughts beyond everyday life.’
