Friday 3 February marks the return of our Art History lectures. Each week for 5 weeks we are joined by a different speaker to talk about an interesting area of art. Some weeks focus on a particular artist such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh (10 February), others are about a movement or art politics. They all promise to be entertaining and informative, even for those with little art knowledge.
The talks last 2 hours, with a break for refreshments and take place at 2pm in the Abraham Dixon Hall. Tickets are £7.50 each.
