Exhibition preview: Breaking the ice: art at the edge of a changing world

Join us for an exclusive preview of our new exhibition celebrating ice. As night falls, join us for drinks in the Society’s Pavilion and enjoy an opportunity to connect with the artists behind the exhibition. 

Bringing together a curated selection of contemporary artists, the exhibition explores ice not only as a physical environment, but as an emotional and symbolic space. There is something about ice that stops us in our tracks. It has long been a place of wonder, a landscape that humbles, mesmerises, and transforms those who encounter it.

Together, these visual dialogues, past and present, reveal how our relationship with ice has evolved, from early exploration and discovery to a growing awareness of its extraordinary fragility. As ice changes at an alarming rate, these works invite us to consider not only what ice has meant to us, but what we stand to lose.
