Art Appreciation

  • The group meets to discuss any aspect of the visual arts. We visit studios, public galleries and exhibitions. We invite local artists to talk to our group and our members give presentations on the work of their favourite artists. Members’ talks have included the work of Winifred Nicholson, Peter Ball, Marc Chagal, William Morrison and the Pre-Raphaelites and Toulouse Lautrec.
  • We would welcome new attendees at their meetings. Activities include members’ presentations on artists and exhibitions attended, guest speakers, visits to art galleries and viewing of DVDs borrowed from the U3A national library. Meetings are informal and are held in members’ homes unless an outing has been arranged.
  • If interested, please contact Elizabeth Wilson.
  • The Group meets on the third Monday of the month at 2pm. We keep numbers to around 15 since that is a comfortable number to seat for ‘at home’ meetings but ‘out’ meetings to galleries and exhibitions can manage larger numbers.
