**DUE TO THE CURRENT SITUATION, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED**

The great artists Frida Kahlo, Ernest Hemingway, Ai Weiwei, Salvador Dali, Karl Lagerfield, David Bowie and Marilyn Monroe were all owned by their cats and so when choosing a name for the meet-ups Black Cats Art Collective was born. The Black Cats Art Collective engage critically and creatively with varied forms of visual art through a series of monthly workshops. The sessions are devised and led by Prea Kaur and Danielle Wallace, both postgraduates at Keele University.

Vincent Van Gogh and Sylvia Plath | Romanticising Madness and Mental Health
Here, we question whether the artist can be separated from their art, primarily when their mental suffering is often at the forefront of the viewer’s appreciation of the art. We will bring to account Van Gogh’s impasto paintings as well as a handful of Plath’s poems and collage art.

FREE | All are welcome to attend!

Please reserve your space and either contact Prea or Danielle through email.
