Donald Rodney Welcome Walkthrough
This Season’s Welcome walkthrough will be led by Community Partners Michael Henry, Strategic Director of Communities Inc and Michael Conroy, CEO of My Sight Nottingham alongside a member of our friendly, knowledgeable team.
The Welcome Walkthrough is a relaxed but social space to experience our brand new exhibition. Moving around the galleries together as a group, we steer clear of jargon whilst sharing insights on artworks, inviting visitor thoughts and questions on our current exhibition Donald Rodney: Visceral Canker.
The Welcome Walkthrough is the first in our season of regular Wednesday Walkthroughs running over the duration of each exhibition offering opportunities to explore artists, themes and works in more depth.
After the Welcome Walkthrough visitors are invited to the café to continue conversations over refreshments (optional).
