Described as ‘stand-up art shows’, these are NOT your stuffy lectures. Brim-full with fun facts but with a focus on storytelling, an art talk ‘Beyond the Palette style’ is a visual treat as much as a presentation. The best bit is that absolutely no prior knowledge is required and you’ll come out remembering at least one sparking snippet to impress friends and family!
Upcoming shows:
The History of Art in 60 Minutes
Strap yourselves in because we’re about to cram thousands of years of human creativity into a single, breathless, hour. From prehistoric hand stencils to the avant-garde antics of modern masters, The History of Art in 60 Minutes serves up a high-energy romp through the greatest hits of artistic genius. Expect masterpieces, madness, and some truly iconic hairstyles along the way. Think of it as art history’s highlight reel.
Join me on Tuesday 06 May at the Phoenix Arts Club.
Tuesday, 06 May at 6.30pm. Tickets available here.
I perform regularly at The Phoenix Arts Club in London’s West End, but I can just as easily bring the show to you! Whether you’re planning a special event, an intimate gathering, or something truly out of the ordinary, I offer exclusive art talks tailored to fit your occasion and venue.
Private and Bespoke Events
You can choose from one of my existing shows – covering themes like love, fashion, or the small subject of the History of Art in 60 minutes – or I can create something completely bespoke, designed just for your event. Either way, expect a storytelling adventure that weaves together works of art, curious anecdotes, and surprising twists to keep you and your guests, or colleagues, thoroughly entertained.
Phoenix Arts Club, Private Christmas Show, 2024
Wherever the venue and whatever the occasion, there’s an art talk to suit. I’ll work closely with you to create the perfect experience—choosing the theme, length, and level of audience interaction to match the vibe of your event. Want something short and punchy? Done. Prefer breaks for cocktails and chatter? Absolutely. No two talks are the same, and that’s part of the magic!
