To kick off our series of Thursday Lates for Peter Blake: In the Studio, we welcome Sir Peter Blake and Pete Townshend for an evening of conversation about the West London music and art scene of the 1960s and 1970s. Together they’ll reminisce about The Who’s Ealing days, Blake’s practice and his connections to music, their long friendship, and the lasting mark both have left on British culture.
The talk begins at 6:30pm. This ticket includes entry to the exhibition, so we recommend arriving early to see it before the talk starts. The gallery will close at 8pm.
