From September 2026 until March 2027, we will run two long topics, there will be one presentation on each topic at each meeting.

The topics will be: “Every Picture Tells a Story” and “Art Genres”

In December 2026 and April 2027, we will have series of short presentations.

From May to July 2027, we will run two shorter topics, with one presentation on each topic at each meeting.

The topics will be: “Art and Social Issues” and “Women Artists”.

We discuss different types of art, and the meaning of art. No two people have the same opinion about what art is or should mean, so we can have some lively discussions. In the past, we took a chronological look at art history, beginning with early painters, such as Giotto, and worked our way forward to the twentieth century. We have looked at the pre-Raphaelites, the Impressionists, 20th century war artists, the Russian Revolution, American art in the long 20th Century, and many others.

Our members choose their topics by ballot - everyone puts an idea in the hat, and we vote on the suggestions.

New members are welcome. No previous experience of art history is necessary. An opinion is always helpful!
