'Celebrating David Hockney' will be held on 17 October 2026 at Cheltenham Town Hall. The event highlights Hockney's artistic style, known for its vibrant colours and innovative perspectives. Tickets are available for £16 to £19.
From bright blue pools in LA to rolling Yorkshire landscapes, David Hockney is renowned for his bold use of colour, playful perspective and restless experimentation across painting, photography and digital media. In the year of Hockney's passing, Will Gompertz is joined by art critic and author James Cahill and writer and long-time collaborator of Hockney Martin Gayford to celebrate the extraordinary life, work and legacy of an artist who continually reshaped how we see the world around us. There will be a book signing after this event. Get ahead of your Festival reading and visit the Waterstones Cheltenham Literature Festival bookshop and support Cheltenham Festivals with every purchase.
