Date: Monday 28th September 2026
Time: 18:30–20:30 (doors open from 18:00 with networking)
Venue: V&A South Kensington, Exhibition Road Street Entrance

We’re thrilled to be partnering with V&A South Kensington to offer the Creative Access community an exclusive private view of Rising Voices: Contemporary Art from Asia, Australia and the Pacific. Rising Voices offers an unparalleled view of the Asia Pacific region’s dynamic creative landscape.

Join us for a special evening at the V&A, where you’ll have the chance to network with fellow creatives, enjoy nibbles and hear from Director of Exhibitions and Exhibition Curator Daniel Slater. Daniel will take us behind the scenes of Rising Voices, sharing fascinating insights into the artists, stories and curatorial thinking that have shaped this ambitious new exhibition.

After the talk, you’ll have free access to explore Rising Voices for yourself, discovering bold and thought-provoking work from artists across Asia, Australia and the Pacific. Bringing together a rich range of contemporary practices and perspectives, the exhibition explores how artists are responding to questions of identity, culture, place and the world around us.

This is a fantastic opportunity to experience one of the V&A’s newest exhibitions in an exclusive after-hours setting, hear directly from the people behind it, and connect with other members of the Creative Access community.

Come along for an evening of art, conversation, inspiration and connection at one of London’s most iconic museums.
