The RIBA and Grimshaw Foundation Annual Art Lecture brings together the interdisciplinary worlds of art and architecture, celebrating artists from around the world and their relationship with the built environment. The series is central to the Grimshaw Foundation's mission to create opportunities for young people from diverse backgrounds to access and be inspired by the worlds of art, design and architecture. We hope to see you there!
