Curious about the Arts and want to know more?
Well, say hello to The Arts Society Exeter. We aim to increase our understanding, knowledge and enjoyment of arts in the broadest sense, to foster friendships and to support arts education in our local community.
Our programme consists of nine outstanding monthly talks – this year, for example, we learn about Picasso and cubism; we peek inside Peggy Guggenheim’s collection; we pop down to Lamorna Cove in Cornwall and finally take a look at Rodin sculptures.
Talks are given by experts from museums and galleries who have to pass a rigorous selection process so they are lively, interesting and inspirational. The talks happen on a Wednesday at 2 pm at the Exeter Phoenix in the theatre room where tiered seating and a large screen mean that the images are clear and visible to all. The talk lasts about one hour with time afterwards for questions, then we have tea and biscuits in the Cafe.
We also have two study days and two visits every year. This year’s study days are: 'The Art and Architecture along the Silk Road' and the 'Art and Culture of Andalusia'. We are visiting Pencarrow House and Caerhays Castle in Cornwall, where we are treated to fascinating, personal tours inside.
You can join us for £49 per year (pro rata)
or try us out for £7 - come to a talk and see how you like us 😊!
