CQ Talks
A series of talks from well-known artists has been a great success with CQ members. Most recently - a talk by Cas Holmes.
Previous speakers have been Lisa Walton, Pat Archibald, Joanna O’Neill, Leah Higgins, Sabi Westoby, Sarah Burgess and Christine Chester. We are planning to continue these talks, so keep an eye on your inbox for details of our next event. We work within artists' contractual constraints and spaces are therefore limited and recordings are not available. These free lectures are currently available to CQ members only. |
