‘We live in a world where gardening is increasingly important.’ – Grayson Perry

We joined Grayson Perry at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show to explore our gold-winning Tate Britain Garden. Designed by Tom Stuart-Smith, the garden introduces a new vision for how art, nature and community come together and represents the first exciting buds ahead next year’s Clore Garden opening. 🍃 🌿

Don’t miss Barbara Hepworth’s Bicentric Form 1949, taking pride of place in the garden too, the first time a work of art from the national collection has been installed at RHS Chelsea Flower Show! 

The Tate Britain Garden at RHS Chelsea Flower Show is supported by the Clore Duffield Foundation and @Project.Giving.Back

As Mental Health Awareness Week draws to a close, we invited Director and artist Alfie Whiteman to spend time at Tate Modern with nothing but his phone camera 📷

Moving gently through the galleries, pausing when something held his attention, these images and videos from Alfie’s camera roll trace quiet observational moments from his visit, focusing on gesture, expression and the way light moves through space.

There is no rush here. Only time to look, notice and let things settle.

Our galleries are free to visit and open to all. Step inside, slow down and see what reveals itself in the art and in you. 💙
