OUR NEW REEL TAKES YOU INTO THE WORLD OF TITIAN. M OUR NEW REEL TAKES YOU INTO THE WORLD OF TITIAN.
MYTHS. GODS. POETRY.

Imagine creating paintings so extraordinary that you believed they could stand alongside poetry.

That was Titian - hence the music in our reel!!! 

Commissioned by Philip II of Spain, and drawing largely on stories from Ovid, Titian spent more than a decade creating a remarkable series of powerful mythological paintings-  some of the most renowned works of his career.

He called them “Poesie”.

And this October, we're getting right into them.

Join Tutor Ronnie Ireland at The GI for an afternoon of Art History, exploring the stories, mythology and extraordinary paintings behind Titian's Poesie.

If you're curious about art, love discovering something new, or simply want to spend an afternoon looking at some truly remarkable paintings, come along.

TITIAN'S POESIE

The GI: A Place For The Next Generation Rather a The GI: A Place For The Next Generation

Rather a long post but an important one! We wonder what you think too...

Here at The GI, we believe that investing in young people means investing in the future of arts education and culture.

We are delighted to welcome volunteers and interns under 30 to join us, offering opportunities to gain experience, develop new skills, build confidence and discover more about working in the arts and cultural sector.

For us, this is about more than work experience. It is about creating opportunities, opening doors and helping young people see where a future in arts education could take them.

Recent findings from a review conducted by Roundhouse Trust highlighted that pathways into the arts and cultural industries are narrowing for many young people, with fewer opportunities available to gain valuable experience.

As an arts education charity with more than 100 years of history, we know how important it is to keep creating those opportunities.

When The GI first opened its doors, our purpose was to help make arts and culture accessible to all. That belief remains at the core of what we do today.

And we believe accessibility also means making sure young people can find their way into the sector.

We want The GI to continue to be a 21st-century arts education charity: open, inclusive and shaped by the next generation.

We are proud to welcome young people into our community.

Are you a young person and interested in volunteering or gaining experience at The GI? We’d love to hear from you. Whether you already have a passion for arts education or are simply curious to explore what a future in the cultural sector might look like, please get in touch!
