Programme
Ursula Burke
The Workspace Social is a new weekly event developed as an alternative format for artists’ talks and networking. Every Thursday, a local or visiting artist is invited to join us for lunch: to discuss a recent project, to share new research or to propose an activity. Participants are welcome to bring along their lunch and to eat with the artist.
For the first Workspace Social, Ursula Burke will give a tour of her current exhibition Vestiges at Ormston House, followed by a bite to eat. Admission is free and all are welcome. Don’t forget to bring your lunch!
