Curator and author Hettie Judah will lead a discussion evening on navigating the art world and a creative life.

An After Session with Hettie Judah

Join us for an informal, intimate, evening event built around art, conversation and community.

The session will open with short presentations from four Morphe artists, each of whom will share their recent and current work.

Hettie Judah then takes a seat at the centre for an open, hour-long conversation, taking questions about the art world, about her work, about navigating a creative life. Bring whatever's on your mind.

After stay for refreshments and a chat.

Hettie will be signing copies of her new book How to Enter the Art World...
