[title]Calling all culture vultures and art lovers: hot new show Frida: The Making of an Icon has opened at Tate Modern and you’re all invited.
Frida: The Making of an Icon at Tate Modern is coinciding with what would have been the revolutionary artist’s 99th birthday. To celebrate, a special-edition Members card and welcome pack containing everything you need to start exploring has been released, featuring a self-portrait of the global icon. Talk about bragging rights!
Giving you unlimited free entry to every exhibition across all Tate galleries with no need to book tickets – including Frida: The Making of an Icon and shows featuring Tracey Emin, Claude Monet and David Hockney – Tate membership is a no-brainer for those who like to squeeze every drop of culture from the beloved city we call home. Better still, membership also means you’ll get free access to the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Gardens in St Ives – the perfect excuse for a Cornish staycation.
And with the new exhibition set to be one of Tate Modern’s most popular shows, you'll want that all-important Tate membership to help you beat the crowds with exclusive visiting hours every weekend. Plus, you’ll be able to return however often you like, and if you add a Guest, you even take a friend for free (your bestie or mum? It’s a moral dilemma!).
Still need convincing? Well, the exhibition showcases over 30 of the global icon’s artworks – alongside treasured garments, jewellery, photographs and memorabilia. There is also a whole host of pieces from her contemporaries, the artists she inspired and over 200 commercial objects. See, we told you you’ll want to return a few times over!
With a Tate membership, you’ll also have no-holds-barred access to the beautiful Members Rooms, as well as special events and 10% Tate shop discount*, and if you join today by Annual Direct Debit you can save £12**.
Fangirling, us? Yes, and rightly so.
