We're open until 8.30pm one Thursday a month (apart from our changeover months of May and November), when you can take in our collection and exhibitions after hours. Enjoy talks and studio workshops, as well as free tours and drop in creative activities, plus live music in the courtyard from June to September. Pallant Café will be open serving a selection of food & drink and you can browse the Bookshop's fabulous art books, prints and gifts.

September sees us explore how artists present their identity to the world. Enjoy an exclusive talk (separately ticketed) with photographer Johnnie Shand Kydd and art critic Louisa Buck who will explore the creative energy and personal dynamics of the Young British Artists (YBAs) in the 1990s. Discover how the photographs captured reflect not only friendships and collaborations, but also how art and life were often one and the same for the YBAs. The conversation will also explore Shand Kydd's more recent photography projects in Naples and Suffolk, expanding on his continued interest in place, people and community.

There will also be a curator's tour connected to the exhibition Rana Begum Curates: Opposing Forms, live music in the courtyard, life drawing with award winning artist Wendy Barratt and a studio drink and draw workshop.

This month we are also delighted to be joined by students from the University of Chichester providing musical entertainment as a creative response to Seeing Each Other. Musical Theatre Music students have been inspired by portraits in the exhibition and will be performing selected songs in response to the art. See below for more details of their performance, starting at 7.30pm.
