Tate Modern visitors can enjoy an extra treat this month, as the gallery will be offering free tickets to see its Franz West exhibition.

The gallery’s upcoming Tate Late event, taking place on April 26, will be themed around Austrian artist Franz West and will offer guests free entry to its current exhibition running on the artist.

The show is a major retrospective of West and features a number of colourful sculptures that visitors can handle themselves — pieces which Standard critic Ben Luke described as “playful” and “vigorously abstract”.

Alongside free entry to the widely praised exhibition, the evening will feature a range of music, film and hands-on workshops.

Guests can also take part in a DIY collage session, in tribute to the artist’s love of the medium, as well as a textile workshop where guests can create pieces with bold and bright fabrics — an activity that will pay homage to West’s colourful artwork.

A make-your-own pin badge workshop is set to run alongside a photography activity, where visitors take part in challenges around the building.

The free April Tate Late also promises a reading from award-winning poet Raymond Antrobus and talks from creatives on the themes of work, play and rest.

There will also be film screenings relating to Poland’s rave culture and an art pub quiz, alongside music from Munni, Don Sinini and DJ collective Boko Boko.

Uniqlo Tate Late will run April 26, from 6pm-10pm, for more information visit tate.org.uk
