Join us for the first Friday Late of the New Year, an evening of art, live music, drinks, and winter ambience.
Enjoy exclusive after-hours access to Jane Bown: Play of Shadow, celebrating the legendary Observer photographer whose portraits reveal the soul of Britain’s cultural icons.
Surrounded by portraits of The Beatles, Sinéad O’Connor, Sting, Mick Jagger, Yoko Ono, Boy George, Bono, and others, visitors will experience a night of music and conversation inspired by this era.
Vocalist Ariádne (Lydia Kotsirea) and Will Lakin guitarist present a one-hour set reimagining songs by The Beatles, Sting, Mick Jagger, Boy George, and more. Blending classic pop, soul, and art-rock, their performance reflects the contemplative and quietly radical spirit of Bown’s portraits.
Enjoy a curated selection of wines, beers, and seasonal sharing boards from HG Café in an intimate gallery setting.
