Join us this Wednesday evening at Art After Hours as artists and celebrities unravel the culture and politics of Bacon’s world and our film program explores a frenetic and rapidly changing postwar Britain. Enjoy Moët & Chandon and fresh oysters on the Artbar terrace as part of our Summer in Soho program, with some of Sydney’s finest jazz musicians performing live.
