SPRING AT THE SAINSBURY CENTRE

Welcome to the Spring Programme of exhibitions and events.

Our current exhibition programme celebrates the unique and extraordinary regions of Fiji and Japan with two shows, Fiji: Art & Life in the Pacific and Masters of Japanese Photography.

In April we open a major retrospective of the work of Paul Nash spanning a lifetime’s work from his earliest drawings to his celebrated Second World War paintings. This is followed in May by an exhibition of works by Rana Begum, one of the most exciting young artists working today.

Accompanying these two hugely exciting shows are our public programme of events, workshops and talks.
