Monthly meetings held in Victoria Hall on the first Tuesday of each month (from October to March) at 2.00pm:
4th October: Barbara Hepworth. We will be looking at the life and work of the sculptor using a DVD borrowed from U3A national resources. This will be a precursor to the gallery visit on 18th October.
1st November: Summer exhibitions. Group members will share information about any galleries or exhibitions they visited during the summer months. Kate will report on the U3A regional study day about John Martin ‘Painter of the Apocalypse’.
6th December: Women painters. The focus will be on less well-known painters with members of the group contributing information to supplement material on loan from U3A national resources.
3rd January: Post-impressionism to 1914. We will be looking at the work of artists such as Paul Klee, Cezanne etc. and maybe early WWI artists.
7th February: Photographic art. Group members will contribute to this session looking at photography as art.
6th March: British Art of the 20th century. Frank Gordon will talk on some aspects of this, focussing, if appropriate, on gallery visits we may have made during the previous months.
Gallery visits: These are normally arranged for the third Tuesday of each month and suggestions of interesting exhibitions can be made by any group member. The first gallery visit is to the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield on 18th October. A coach has been arranged and the cost will be £10.50 per person. Payment to be made at time of booking a place.
