A Brush with the British Art Scene BRAND NEW Art Appreciation Taster Course Next date TBC Wednesdays, 6.30-8.00pm Duration: 4 weeks Cost: £48.00 Tutor: Heather Guthrie Since the 18th century, artists living and working in this country have created a rich and vibrant legacy – the British art scene.

Exploring groups of artists who have shaped the British art scene, this course will cover examples including the Norwich School of Artists, the Glasgow Boys, the St Ives School and the Young British Artists (YBAs). The course will take place online via Zoom with a 40-minute lecture and breaks for group discussion. Love Art? Let’s talk about it!
