About this Event

Back to Basics: Breaking down the art history timeline
Friday 24 April
6–8pm
Port Independent


About Art Goss
Art Goss is a fun and informal way to learn about art history. We talk honestly, there are no silly questions, and we take the dryness out of art history. No pressure if all this information is brand new — we believe art history is one of the best ways to learn about the world, humanity, and just how messy the people who painted some of the most famous works in history were.

Hosted by artist and curator Liv Askwith, whose work explores hyper-femininity and draws deeply from the well of art history.


Back to Basics: Breaking down the art history timeline
Learn your Cubism from your Impressionism and finally get your head around what all those art movements actually mean. This session gives you a clear, fun overview of the major periods in art history — from classical roots right through to modern movements.

Perfect if you've ever nodded along pretending you know the difference, or if you just want enough knowledge to get that one art question right on University Challenge

Strictly adults only — lots of swearing, sass, and no-holds-barred commentary included.

£10 a ticket (plus Eventbrite fee) or hop on the Pink-collar Patreon for £5 a month and your Art Goss ticket’s already covered. (https://www.patreon.com/cw/PC_G)

Come learn, laugh, and get clued up. No prior knowledge needed.
