A casual platform for art advocacy, Artsplaining introduces and fosters art appreciation by engaging individuals from various industries and backgrounds who may not have direct ties to the arts, thus establishing relatability and connections between the arts and non-arts worlds.

Through thoughtful conversations and witty interpretations, our featured guests reflect on how the works in the Gallery relate to different industries and non-art spheres. Equal parts offbeat and accessible, this programme is perfect for anyone keen to discover more about the visual arts!
