When do we meet?
Second Monday morning of the month at The Moreton Hall Community Centre , 10am. Plenty of parking available.
What do we do?
We are a friendly and enthusiastic group of art lovers who discuss and study all aspects of the history and appreciation of art. Our meetings vary from talks by group members, studio visits to local artists, trips to art exhibitions, and occasionally an outside speaker. Our trips can usually include lunch or coffee, so we are able to meet socially outside the meetings.
The atmosphere is very informal, so people who are keen to learn are as welcome as those who have some background knowledge.
We are open to new members so please contact us if you would like to hear more about the group.
