Leave the World Behind - Virtual Art Exhibition

"Leave the World Behind, the Art of Unlearning" is a virtual art exhibition by artist Marion Vialade-Worch on her artist's journey embracing her neurodiversity.

An immersive 3D online gallery where attendees can navigate a virtual art space, the event will feature live-streamed sessions with the artist, online Q&As, and the chance to explore each artwork’s story. Through VR technology, viewers can preview how select pieces would look in their homes, creating a revolutionary bridge between digital art access and in-home display.

The art event will run throughout January 2025, launching on the 3rd with a welcome pack and access to the virtual art exhibition for preview. Your virtual art ticket gives you access to everything online, including the virtual art gallery, all five live sessions with the artist, and unique videos.

Please note that you only need one ticket per device, not per person.
