The Friends are invited to join the Reginald Haggar Memorial Lecture Fund for an exclusive lunch with artist Cornelia Parker, prior to her lecture ‘Avoiding the Object’.

In 1980, as a student, Cornelia Parker caught the eye by winning the top prize in the new Midland View open exhibition at the City Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent. Since those early days she has gone on to become one of the UK’s most exciting and innovative contemporary artists. Cornelia’s vision and imagination is often applied to ordinary and familiar things, which she transforms into the extraordinary and the unforgettable.

Tickets for lunch: £15, Members only. **SOLD OUT**

Tickets for lecture: Free, but must be booked in advance
