Friday 8 January 2021

 

At our next meeting on 21st January 2021, we will join Ian Swankie on an armchair tour of some of London’s best public art and street art as we explore the capital, spotting well-known and less well-known works of art.

From Bronzes to Banksy

This journey takes us from west to east. We’ll see a vast range of art including classical bronze monuments, wacky contemporary works and fleeting spray paint art. The artworks are made of metal, stone, ceramics, plaster, paint and even chewing gum.

Ian Swankie is an Arts Society lecturer, and also a London tour guide. He’s a guide at Tate Modern and Tate Britain and Guildhall Art Gallery. He’s also a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Art Scholars, one of the City Livery Companies.

We will again be meeting via Zoom, starting at 730pm. The link will be sent out early that day to our shorter list of members and friends. If you don’t think you are already on this list and and would like to be included please let us know by replying to this email.

Before then, at our coffee morning on Friday 15th January we will meet via Zoom from 1030, for a chat and catch up. We could maybe bring a view on resolutions. Nearly half way through the month there will have been plenty of time to make, break and retry resolutions, or maybe not... Alternatively bring something with beginning with the letter R.

There will also be a coffee morning on the 29th January.

Again invitations will be sent out nearer the time
