Art Appreciation
We visit exhibitions galleries, stately homes with collections, craft shows, sculpture gardens, locally and further afield. We want to interpret Art as widely as possible, and see and learn about new works as well as those we already admire and love.

Most of our visits are to locations in Cornwall and Devon, often using public transport, particularly trains. Our days out regularly include café stops for coffee/cakes and lunches, with good company and the opportunity to discuss what we have seen and share our impressions (likes and dislikes!) in a friendly environment. We have planning meetings twice a year to arrange and schedule our monthly visits across the year and also share details of things going on locally in the art world, even if we don’t include these as formal visits as part of our annual programme. Ideas for future visits from group members warmly welcomed and encouraged!
Our next visit is :
- September 28th; catching the 10am train to Truro Museum and Art Gallery to see among other things pottery by Chris Prindl and Cornish Myths and Legends. There’s a good cafe at the Museum for refreshments/lunch.
