Richard Diebenkorn
Friends of the RA can enjoy exclusive access to the galleries in this late night opening of 'Richard Diebenkorn'.
To celebrate Friends Week, we will also be putting on live music and other activities to keep you busy inspired by Richard Diebenkorn’s Ocean Park Series, which he painted from his beach front studio in Santa Monica. Friends will have access to the Academicians’ Room where you can listen to the Jazz band from 6.30pm. In the Hugh Casson Room we will be hosting an Art Quiz from 7.30pm and then from 8.30pm we will have a set from the band Sky Murphy and The General who’ll perform their unique take on Mod, Surf and Rock ‘n’ Roll cultures that the band dub ‘surf-beat.’ For those looking for an artistic vibe, we will have a still-life set up in the Belle Shenkman Room with materials provided and a creative workshop led by Poppy’s Papercuts taking influence from Richard Diebenkorn, outside the Sackler Wing. Plus Peyton & Byrne will be serving California rolls and Californian wine for just £12.50 throughout the evening.
Become a Friend of the RA to see all our exhibitions outside of public opening hours, as well as a host of other benefits including free entry to our exhibitions for you and a guest, special Friends events and all-day access to the Keeper's House.
