The Art of Darkness

Wednesday 29 October, 630pm onwards at LoLo House, Al Quoz

Spooky Stories of Fear and Fascination – with art from Dürer to Bacon and the spellbinding voices of an a cappella choir.  

🦇What to Expect🦇

🐈‍⬛ Witches & Monsters – Rose Balston traces fear in art, from Dürer and Bosch to Goya, Munch and Bacon
👻 Live Music – Haunting choral works from an a cappella choir
🎃 Mocktails & Canapés – Generous food and drinks by LoLo House, Al Quoz
🪄 Magic & Atmosphere – An elegant Halloween evening of art, music and conversation in an intimate, private setting.
🕰️ Programme – 6.30pm arrival → 7.15pm art & music → 8.30pm more food, drinks and time to linger until 10pm.

For centuries, artists have conjured witches, demons and phantoms — images that both terrified and amused their audiences.

This Halloween, join Rose for a journey through the art of fear and fascination: from Dürer’s witches and Bosch’s grotesques, to Goya’s sharp satire, Munch’s silent scream, and Bacon’s howling Popes.

Along the way, expect not only the dark and dramatic, but also light-hearted twists, witty surprises, and the spellbinding voices of an a cappella choir. It will be an evening as playful as it is thought-provoking, blending spine-tingling stories with unexpected Halloween fun.
