Ever wondered what an art technician really does? These highly skilled specialists are the unsung heroes of the gallery world — expertly packing, transporting, installing and deinstalling artworks with precision and care.
Much of their work happens out of sight: planning complex installations, taking meticulous measurements, and selecting exactly the right tools and equipment to keep every artwork safe.
Join freelance art technician Andrew Quinn for an informal talk and live demonstration that lifts the lid on this fascinating profession. Discover the technical know how, problem solving and behind the scenes magic that make exhibitions possible.
Tickets £7.50, booking essential.
