Art School (in a Book): A Future Artist’s Guide to Contemporary Art

Monday 25 May 2026, 4pm – Spring Stage

Do you love art and want to know more but don’t know where to start? Using their Art School (in a Book) as a starting point, actor Russell Tovey and gallerist Robert Diament​ introduce us to the world of contemporary art, from Frida Kahlo to David Hockney.

Whether you have a passion for pictures, or are just keen to dip your brush into the world of art history, this interactive event will leave you feeling enriched and inspired by some of our greatest and most exciting contemporary artists.

With Russell and Robert as your guides, you’ll also discover the artist within you, as they share tips on new ways of seeing and reacting to the world around you and guidance on how you can develop your own creativity. They talk to illustrator Rob Biddulph.
