About Art Goss
Art Goss is a fun and informal way to learn about art history. We talk honestly, there are no silly questions, and we take the dryness out of art history. No pressure if all this information is brand new — we believe art history is one of the best ways to learn about the world, humanity, and just how messy the people who painted some of the most famous works in history were.

Hosted by artist and curator Liv Askwith, whose work explores hyper-femininity and draws deeply from the well of art history.

Why the Renaissance Actually Is a Big Deal
The Renaissance really was a big deal — and there’s a reason we’re still talking about it today! It was a revolutionary explosion of art, science, and ideas. Discover why artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael changed everything, how perspective and realism transformed painting, and why this period still shapes our visual world today.

Strictly adults only — lots of swearing, sass, and no-holds-barred commentary included.

£10 a ticket (plus Eventbrite fee) or hop on the Pink-collar Patreon for £5 a month and your Art Goss ticket’s already covered.

Come learn, laugh, and get clued up. No prior knowledge needed.
