We are an active, enthusiastic group who aim to widen our knowledge and enjoyment of the visual arts.
We have visited galleries, stately homes and places of interest as well as holding self directed workshops. We have found holding additional workshops prior to visiting some of the exhibitions to be very valuable.
Our WhatsApp groups share information about films, new exhibitions and TV programmes. Several off-pistes are suggested throughout the year 😀
