Home is where the Art is

Home is Where the Art Is is a free talk and part of the Fitzrovia Chapel’s autumn exhibition, Dwelling. Come and listen to gallerist Hannah Watson talk about differences in perception in seeing art in people’s homes as opposed to galleries, exhibitions and public spaces. She will discuss bringing art into the personal and domestic space and how people build collections for their own homes. How do you curate and display work in the home? What are the practical challenges, such as stairways and lighting, of having art in the home?
