Join us as they get into conversation with Alex Pheby, Professor of Creative Writing at Newcastle University, to discuss the big questions: What is art? Why is it so hard to become ‘an artist’ and why do so many people try anyway? Based on interviews across the art world, and featuring talking babies, zombies and Turner Prize winners, Poor Artists is one of the most surreal, political and original books of 2025._______________________________________________________________________________Ticket InformationClick on the 'Reserve a spot' button and add your name and contact details to the short form.This event will be held in the Curtis Auditorium, Herschel Building at Newcastle University (NE1 7RU).We operate a paperless ticketing system, so you do not need to print your tickets.
