Opening Day of Connections - the Worcester City Collection, in Conversation with the Community

Featuring artworks from Worcester’s own collection, selected by community groups in 2023 and 2024, the exhibition explores people’s different responses to art and the emotions and perspectives it can evoke.
On show will be unexpected treasures and old favourites including John Collier’s ‘Clytemnestra’ (c. 1914) and ‘Market Day’ (1907) by William Frank Calderon.

Throughout the day you can help us to make a community artwork by creating a joint collage linked to one of our artworks. This will then be displayed in the activity space whilst the Connections exhibition is on.
There will be short ‘spotlight’ talks in the exhibition that will last for about 10 minutes to discuss one of the art works on display. These will be at 10:30, 11:30, 13:30 and 14:30.

There will also be live music to enjoy and a trail for children to take part in (£1, purchase from the museum shop).
