Overview

Talk by Sam Parker-Bowles

What’s your favourite artwork? Art consultant Sam will give a fascinating talk as he explores the nation’s top twenty favourite artworks (as voted for in 2017). He will select some pieces to look at in more detail and consider why they are so popular. Will your favourite make the list? Join us to find out!

Sam has nearly twenty years of experience in the art industry, having worked at The National Gallery of Victoria (Melbourne, Australia), at art dealer Dickinson in St James’, London, and at The Fine Art Society and Fine Art Commissions.


We’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this, please call the team or visit us in person.
