A programme of events and speakers is organised at the commencement of the U3A year.

We aim to be relevant to all, from those with little knowledge of the subject to those well informed about art and artists.

Images are accessed by projection onto a screen. Books, information leaflets and objects may also be brought to the meetings.

We look at a range of art, paintings and sculpture, both classical and modern.

Members give the talks. We also have presentations by visiting artists.

Enjoy looking at artworks with us.
