Evening Talk: In Conversation with Chantal Joffe and Ishbel Myerscough

Chantal Joffe and Ishbel Myerscough are coming to the Millennium Gallery on Wednesday 13 January 2027 for an evening talk. It's a chance to hear the two of them together, talking through the creative collaboration that sits behind an exhibition on everyday beauty.

If you've been following the show, this is the part where you get to hear the people behind it explain how it actually came together. Rather than just seeing the finished work on the walls, you'll get them in the room discussing the process and the ideas they worked on together. The whole thing centres on everyday beauty — the kind of thing you might walk past without thinking twice, but that they've spent their time looking at and painting.

It's a conversation between two artists who've worked in tandem here, so the talk is as much about the collaboration as it is about the art itself. You'll hear them talk about how they approached the subject, what they were looking for, and how their two ways of working sat alongside each other. If you're interested in how a show like this gets made from the inside, this is exactly where you'll find that.

The talk is at the Millennium Gallery in Sheffield on Wednesday 13 January, and admission is free.
