Private Art Gallery Tours - London

Our private art tuition sessions can also be taken as bespoke art tours at the following London galleries:

• Tate Modern
• Tate Britain
• Royal Academy of Arts 
• National Gallery
• National Portrait Gallery 

Meet our art tutor and professional artist to be guided around the permanent collection of one of these galleries. The guided tours are ideal if you’d like to develop your knowledge of art history and place your own work within the contemporary art cannon. Looking at the work of other artists is also crucial in the development of your own ideas. 

You will learn about the ideas that underpin the work we see, how the work was made and the lives of the artists. The sessions will be adjusted to your personal interests and experience level - they are suitable for all levels whether you’re a more experienced artist, a student building a portfolio for art college, or simply visiting and looking for things to do in London. 

How the artworks discussed fit into the context of contemporary art, and how they relate to the major ideas that have developed over time is given particular importance. 

Nick Malone is passionate about promoting good art practice, which he sees as a vital part of his role as a professional artist. He has extensive knowledge of art history and is a highly engaging guide, putting his own passion and experience into the tour. Nick has lived and practiced as an artist in London for the past 30 years and has a great knowledge of London’s art scene. 

Before becoming an artist Nick was a writer, supporting himself with an academic career leading a team developing humanities degrees. He has worked as a Visiting Professor at the University of Wisconsin and at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Contemporary Literature. He has distinctions in adult education and Modern Literature from the University of London and an MA in fine art from Central St Martins. 

Since becoming a full-time artist his work has been exhibited all over the world, including at the Royal Society of Arts, the Louvre, the Venice Biennale  and the Royal Academy.

The guided tours can be arranged for a mutually convenient time and date costing £100 per hour for a minimum of two hours. Prices are for tours of the permanent collections, if you would like to be taken around a temporary exhibition you may need to purchase an entrance ticket. Payment can be made by bank transfer before the tour. 

The tours can be arranged for a single person or a small group of up to four people for the same cost.
