Elvis, Edward Hopper, Jackson Pollock and New Orleans blues. American art and culture were celebrated at the Dulwich Picture Gallery’s March Late Opening to tie-in with the new Coming of Age: American Art, 1850s -1950s exhibition.
Filmmaker and Dulwich OnView member Edmund Saunders captured the buzz and excitement of the evening on video. Looks like a fun time was had by all.

Co-Editor and ex-Chair of the Friends Committee. I’m a teacher. I’ve worked in the education department of Dulwich Picture Gallery for 14 years, guiding, lecturing and teaching anyone from 7 years old to degree level. I have run a number of education projects (in a remand home, a prison, a local primary school) and am now the e-learning project developer. I commission articles rather than write them and am mainly in charge of the Gallery related articles.
