*"Joseph Wright of Derby has been described as the first professional painter to express the spirit of the Industrial Revolution."* – Tate Britain **Join us at the National Gallery for the first major exhibition dedicated to Joseph Wright of Derby's legendary 'candlelight' paintings.** Working during the Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution, Wright captured moments of discovery and wonder with a Caravaggio-like mastery of light and darkness. This exhibition reveals him as more than just a painter of scientific progress – his work explores death, melancholy, morality and the sublime. See his most famous painting 'An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump' alongside over twenty other works that continue to speak powerfully to contemporary audiences about what it means to observe, to learn, and to question.

Have you ever wanted to be immersed within nature but also see animals? If so, this may be the right one for you. Welcome to an exploration event where all of this is possible. 
With this particular event, we’ll be exploring ‘Spitalfields city Farm’. The farm is the only one that’s nearest to the city which started in 1978. Initially, the farm was for locals to cater to their demands for allotments. Not long later, chickens, rabbit and geese have appeared on the scene. This particular farm is now consistent of several farm animals, produce, flowers and much more. That is what we are to explore. Here is the itinerary for the day: 1:30pm: Await the members 1:50pm: Depart to the Farm 2:15pm: Explore the farm 4pm onwards: Aftermath My fellow explorers, if you enjoyed the event, I’m more than happy to accept any donations which of course are optional but will go a long way to help me unlock and deliver even more exciting and engaging events and resources: https://www.paypal.me/calvinjoy
