July – Sept 09

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new series of informal art talks designed to invite an exchange of ideas and questions about art and increase your level of art appreciation.

Each fortnight we will present a new topic for discussion in a relaxed, casual atmosphere over delicious wine and cheese.

Cash Brown, an independent art consultant, curator and practicing artist will take you on a journey through art history and discuss widely debated issues about art.

Commencing Saturday 4 July at 4 pm in the gallery, these talks will be held every fortnight and run for one hour.

Cost:
$15 per person per session, or $60 for all six.

Bookings essential as numbers are strictly limited. So email us now.

We look forward to seeing you there.
