Art Palette
The autumn term of art classes has started with a record 93 students; apologies to students who missed out on classes which are full; you can always look for places that are available on classes and ‘pay per class’.
The three-day Life Drawing Master Class in half term is now full.
I hope everyone enjoys learning and creating their art!

Art Group Lecture
A Picture a Day – Peggy Guggenheim and the birth of mid-century Modernism
Tuesday 18th October, 8pm
Free to Art Group members and no need to book
This is the story of how the socialite and muse Peggy Guggenheim became one of the greatest collectors in the history of Modern Art. Friends with the leading figures of her day, including Cecil Beaton, Jean Cocteau, Barbara Hepworth, Scott Fitzgerald, Ian Fleming and Igor Stravinsky – she was photographed by Man Ray and took advice from Marcel Duchamp and married – among others, the artist Max Ernst.
How and why did her name become inextricably linked with the city of Venice? And how did a New York heiress play such a pivotal role in the making of mid-century Modernism.
