Art Group Lectures – change to entry process
We have simplified the entry process to the art lectures as the queues to pay at the desk were getting a little long and delaying the start.
From now on any Club Member who wishes to attend an art lecture must also be a member of the Art Group as described below. You can continue to bring guests who are not members of the Club and pay the guest fee at the door.
Art Lectures are free for Art Group Members
Club Members attending should also be members of the Art Group and can sign up for Art Group membership on the evening – £10 for six months to December.
Art Group members may bring guests who are not members of the Club paying £10 each on arrival.
No booking required.
Next Art Lecture – Dazzling Dufy: invitation to a luminous feast with Raul Dufy
Lecture by Mary Alexander
8pm, Tuesday 19th September
Raoul Dufy (1877–1953) was a polymath and key player in twentieth century art, design, literary and musical circles in Paris.
His charismatic personality, wit and curiosity about the world was infectious. Dufy’s imagination and technical virtuosity – across a range of media including painting, murals, book illustration, textiles and fashion, ceramics and theatrical set design defy conventional art historical categorisation.
Dufy is widely known in France, Japan and the USA today but less so in the UK. We will explore his magical world and ask … why?
As an experienced freelance speaker, Mary lectures regularly for The Arts Society throughout the UK and abroad. She also contributes articles to magazines, newspapers and professional journals.
