Buy Late Tickets >Join us in March for a Thursday Late exploring William Nicholson’s connection to the theatre world.
Hear from Jane Pritchard, Curator of Dance, Theatre and Performance at the V&A, in a special talk about how William Nicholson’s creative imagination leapt from the canvas to the stage, and how his theatrical designs reflect the wider story of performance, art, and innovation in the period.
You can also take part in a curator’s tour of William Nicholson, drop-in life drawing, a drink and draw workshop, and discover a selection of work from our archives in the Library.
