The Art Appreciation Group was established in January 2012. The aim of the group is to promote interest in all aspects of art including painting, sculpture, glass, ceramics and jewellery. This is achieved by visiting a variety of art-related places of interest during Spring and Summer months, and talks and discussions during Autumn and Winter.
Events are planned well in advance and full details are sent to members by email four weeks before each event.
Light refreshments are usually included in our events making them both educational and social occasions.
Anyone who is interested in joining this large, friendly group should contact the coordinator.
