PWYC Neo Impressionists - Art Exhibition

The National Gallery Sainsbury Wing, Trafalgar Square WC2N 5DN, London, GB

Follow 👉this link👈 to pay what you want for your ticket

Neo-Impressionists painted in small dots of pure colour. Viewed from a distance, the colours blend to create nuanced tones and an illusion of light. Now known as pointillism, this technique simplified form and played with colour in an entirely new way, verging on the edge of abstraction.

Alongside this exciting approach to colour, their style went hand-in-hand with radical political ideas. They captured late 19th-century European society through luminous landscapes, portraits and interior scenes, while also depicting the struggles faced by the working class, in reaction against the industrial age.

Social nearby after the exhibition.

Daddy's First Gay Date

Tickets start from £14 and must be booked in advance from the theatre here. The play starts at 1730 but (depending on interest) we can meet for a drink beforehand, and/or afterwards.

Is it selfish to leave someone you love in order to find yourself?

Ben’s hoping his first date with a man can provide him with some much-needed answers, but is he expecting too much?

An uncomfortable restaurant break-up becomes a pressure-cooker first date in this new comedy by Sam Danson (BI-TOPIA), directed by the award-winning Rikki Beadle-Blair.

From a local village pub to a big gay rave in the city, Daddy’s First Gay Date takes audiences on a Northern rom-com rollercoaster.

The show explores identity, self-acceptance and coming out as LGBT later in life.

Starring Dior Clarke, Megan Edmondson & Sam Danson. Originally commissioned by Creative Industries Trafford.
