About this event

14.09.26, 10.30am-12pm. Free. Join us with your baby for an informal visit to our archive with our Research and Public Engagement Curator, Ruth Bretherick. A chance to learn about Fruitmarket’s history through archival materials that date from 1984 onwards. If art is an important part of your life, this is an opportunity to find a little moment to engage with it amongst the chaos of new parenthood. A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, giving you space to talk and think about art and meet like-minded parents and carers. Fuss and feeding expected. Baby changing facilities and buggy park available. 10.30-11am – arrival, park buggies 11-11.45am – archive visit Installation image, Jean-Michel Basquiat: Paintings 1981–1984, Fruitmarket, 11 August 1984–23 September 1984.
