🎞 The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is on next Friday - see the story unfold on the big screen at UXBRIDGE Theatre!

The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is one of the most recognised and reproduced paintings in the world. Painted in Vienna in 1908, the evocative image of an unknown embracing couple has captivated viewers with its mystery, sensuality and dazzling materials.

During his lifetime, Klimt was both a controversial and a much-admired artist, who dominated the art scene. Born in 1862, Gustav Klimt was a titan of the Art Nouveau movement creating decadent new worlds which merged tender sensuality, ancient mythology and radical modernity.

Four sleeps until Father’s Day!

Still stuck for gift ideas? Why not give Dad an experience to enjoy and remember?

Our workshops are a great way to spend some quality time together, or give Dad a chance to take some time out and try something completely different.

And because fitting everything into one Sunday can be tricky, why not celebrate before or after the big day? 😉

Give an experience, make something together, or let Dad discover a new creative skill.
