Jon Sleigh, freelancer Learning Curator and Arts Educator will share his insights and emotion on Grayson Perry’s ‘The Annunciation of the Virgin Deal”, part of The Vanity of Small Differences series. This 4m long tapestry tells the story of Tim Rakewell, a fictional 21st century software developer who climbs the social and economic ladder from his working-class roots. The work is shown alongside “Hold Your Beliefs Lightly”, both on loan from the Currell Collection. Join us for a fascinating look at the art of social class and its wider links to the Wolverhampton Art Gallery collection, shared in an atmosphere of togetherness.
