Dodge Preview

Supporting Somerset House's Young Talent Fund
Wed 14 July, 17.30 - 22.30 (pre-selected arrival times)

You have been invited to join us on a special fundraising preview of Dodge, our thrilling open-air experience featuring new commissions by composer Anna Meredith and artist/designer Yinka Ilori in support of our Young Talent Fund.

We are asking for a £40 contribution from every guest where all proceeds will go towards supporting Somerset House’s Young Talent Fund enabling the next generation of early career artists and creative practitioners to realise their potential.

Guests have access to host a table in Yinka’s vibrant art installation and enjoy delicious food from Jimmy Garcia with DJ sets from Somerset House Studios resident Nabihah Iqbal.
