Lunch with guest artists
Lunch with guest artists is an informal event series where guest artists at LKV present their artistry. The presentations are open to everyone and provide a unique insight into the processes behind the art that is developed at LKV.
Bring your lunch and get to know both artists and practices in a casual lunch setting. We will provide coffee and tea.
