This October, Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery unveils Howard Hodgkin: In a Public Garden — the largest institutional exhibition of original prints by the acclaimed British artist to date. Curated by renowned art historian Richard Calvocoressi, this landmark show features around 60 vibrant, emotionally charged prints that span five decades of Hodgkin’s career, from 1966 to 2016. Installed throughout Pitzhanger’s contemporary gallery and the atmospheric rooms of the historic Manor itself, this retrospective-in-print immerses visitors in Hodgkin’s world of colour, memory, and abstraction. His bold, gestural works — full of nuance and feeling — transform the building into a living canvas of moments remembered and reimagined. As curator Richard Calvocoressi notes, “In the case of Howard Hodgkin, the term ‘prints’ is perhaps misleading. Many of them were hand-coloured by the artist or his collaborators and come close to being one-offs, like paintings; and as such, they make a powerful impact on their environment. Working from memory and imagination, Hodgkin created images of transience, in which ambiguous, dissolving forms are the pictorial equivalent of an autobiographical sensation or perception. I hope visitors will be both moved and exhilarated by this exhibition.” Highlights include Venetian Views (1995), a rarely united series of lyrical cityscapes, and Swimming (2011), created for the London 2012 Olympics. This marks the second time Hodgkin’s work has been exhibited at Pitzhanger. He was drawn to the building’s distinctive light and architecture for a 2009 exhibition — before the major restoration and reopening in 2019 — establishing a meaningful connection with the site that continues today. A setting steeped in art and architecture, Pitzhanger Manor was the country home of visionary architect Sir John Soane, built between 1800 and 1804. Designed as a showcase for his most experimental ideas, the Manor also has a rich artistic legacy – Soane often welcomed leading artists of the day, including frequent guest and kindred spirit J.M.W. Turner. Further details about the exhibition will be released closer to the opening date—subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated on this exhibition.

If you are pondering whether there is a 'pop or gospel choir near me' then you may be interested in the local Ealing Rock Choir. The Ealing Rock Choir is led by London based musician and teacher Nicola Cain. The choir is for all ages and all the local London branches of Rock Choir, like ours come together to do incredible performances like the 11,000 seat Wembley Arena that ITV1 asked to film for the Rock Choir documentary 'The Choir that Rocks' and also our numerous Guinness World Record attempts (The Rock Choir members have got 3 world records and even had personal certificates arranged for them) and community events too like the local London music and food festivals. Whether you only sing in the shower or along to your car radio, or whether you see yourself belting out a showstopper at the O2 arena (which we've done!), there's a place for you in the Ealing Rock Choir. With no singing audition or need to read music, anyone can come along to a FREE taster session and see why the Ealing choir members recommend their friends! Here is a quote about our choir - 'My 12 year old daughter Abbii and I both sing in Rock Choir. It is great to do something together that we both really enjoy. We have sung at Disneyland Paris and Guilfest, and I have been on the Paul O'Grady Show. What an experience! ' - Judith (Rock Choir member) Rock Choir is a winner of the Red Ribbon 'Big Heart' Award [https://rockchoir.com/awards-achievements/]. and holds 1 former and 2 current Guinness World Records. The choir is also credited with single handedly starting the contemporary choir movement.

This interactive panel discussion brings together two artists (Ania Ruszkowski [https://www.aniaruszkowski.com/] andZofia Wyszomirska-Noga [https://wyszomirska-noga.com/]) whose work is shaped by Polish heritage and the lived realities of Anglo-Polish identity. Olga Topol, curator of Slavonic and East European Collections at The British Library, will facilitate the discussions and contribute her experiences alongside Ania and Zofia. Through storytelling, artworks, and shared reflections, the panel explores how cultural memory, displacement, hybrid belonging, and language are expressed visually. More than a traditional talk, this session invites audience participation, live questions, and mini reflection activities to build dialogue and deepen mutual understanding.
