Global Counsel Forum & Pinsent Masons: A Celebration of Black art

We are delighted to invite you to join us for an exclusive evening of networking, connection and a celebration of Black art, hosted by Global Counsel Forum and Pinsent Masons.

Taking place on Monday 12 October at Hope 93 Gallery in Fitzrovia, the evening will bring together a carefully curated group of legal professionals, business leaders and guests from across the Global Counsel Forum and Pinsent Masons communities.

Guests will have the opportunity to experience the work of Richard Ikhide, a Nigerian artist whose exhibition will be showing at the gallery during Black History Month. Hope 93 is one of London's leading spaces for African and diaspora art, and we are looking forward to celebrating the work of an exceptional artist in this truly special setting.

The evening will include remarks from Sharon Thomas, Managing Director at Global Counsel Forum, and Saffie Jallow, Senior Associate (Barrister) at Pinsent Masons, followed by a short introduction to African art and collecting from Aki Abiola, Founder of Hope 93 Gallery. Guests will then enjoy networking, drinks, a tasty selection of Nigerian food and time to explore the exhibitions.
