Please be aware no previous expertise needed, and there are no right or wrong opinions!
The aim: A sharing of our common interest; learning about unfamiliar areas of art and benefitting from observations and the comments of others
The sessions: A wide range of topics including themes, artists, movements, genres and materials, both from art history and contemporary. Visits to exhibitions when the opportunity arises. Discussion and sharing. The most common format will be a slide show presentation
Advice: Please be prompt to each session as there will be a lot to pack in, and if you could bring the right money that would be great! There will be a comfort break mid-way. Please bring your own refreshments to sip during the sessions and ‘munchies’ if you’re likely to feel peckish..
Venue: The main hall of the Social Centre (where general monthly MaD meetings take place)
Room Hire Contribution: £2
PLEASE : Although all members are welcome for each monthly session. if you decide the group is not really for you, for whatever reason, or you can no longer make the commitment please let me know.
