Look Club
Look Club is a free, friendly group where adults can meet new people, discover art, and be inspired. Over six weeks, participants explore ideas and questions inspired by the gallery’s exhibitions in relaxed, informal sessions — open to anyone curious about art. No experience needed, just an open mind.Launched in 2020 with Age UK Thanet, Look Club now partners with Pilgrims Hospices to help tackle social isolation and support local well-being. Priority places are offered to hospice referrals, with spaces available for other participants too.
‘I can be playful and imaginative at Look Club; in the outside world, I might be called childish.’
Here's what artist Alessandro Raho had to say about Look Club:
Thank you Bowie and Sarah for delivering another thoughtful and engaging session! The Turner Look Club has been organised with real sensitivity, and it’s such a good outreach programme, I think people can be a little intimidated by galleries, I know I was when I was younger, and often just the simplest conversation can open up what is going on with the work inside the museum and let people have a way in to what is going on. For my part too it’s also so nice to meet people and talk about art, as a painter I spend most time alone so it’s lovely to hear responses to the paintings.
