Our attendees visually enter the artists' worlds, their stories and their secrets. Provoking thought, we query why deaf Goya painted himself so many times and whether Louise Bourgeois was afraid of spiders. We adventure through different time periods getting lost in the world of colour and new mediums whilst learning about some of the most prolific artists the world has ever seen.
