Did you know the Bloomsbury Group had a Wiltshire story?
Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell and the Bloomsbury set are famous for shaking up the art world – but their connection to Wiltshire? That's the bit most people miss.
Join art historian Frances Spalding as she uncovers the lesser-known Wiltshire chapter of one of the 20th century's most influential artistic circles. It's a fascinating side of Bloomsbury you won't find in the usual histories.
This talk perfectly complements our summer exhibition Bloomsbury in Wiltshire – come for the talk, explore the exhibition, and discover the artists, relationships and creative work that emerged from the group's time here.
Frances Spalding is a leading authority on modern British art – she's written the centenary history of the Tate, and biographies of Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant and other artists.
Drinks reception from 6:45 pm, kindly sponsored by Kirker Holidays
