                Artsplaining: 10th Anniversary Edition with Gurmit Singh
                
              
              
At Artsplaining, Gurmit Singh brings his trademark warmth and humour to the Gallery, offering refreshing perspectives on art that are at once heartfelt and relatable. Paired with Gallery staff, expect Gurmit to spark laughter, curiosity, and perhaps a little nostalgia in this one-of-a-kind session.
