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..

Rebirth at Easter time
This month we’ll be looking at Spring and rebirth/renewal, as Easter this year is so close to our meeting date. As usual the presentation will cover all genres and span across art history, including some contemporary pieces of artwork. We will not be looking at lots of Spring landscapes, flowers or religious paintings, though there will be a few, the talk focussing on all aspects of renewal and rebirth. Please note we will be in the main hall for this talk not the smaller room so all are welcome.

Art Deco: Now for a movement as a change from previous themed presentations! The Art Deco movement lasted the longest of all movements, going through 3 stages in development and affecting the artworld internationally. It was huge! We will be looking at all aspects of Art Deco in the first half, and in the second we’ll feature one particular artist synonomous with the movement.
