We are a fully participatory forum which aims to cover a wide range of the arts - visual, literature, music, dance, architecture, film/tv etc. Each session will include a presentation and discussion of a topic chosen and presented by a member of the group. Presentations can take any form and we hope will generate a lively exchange of information and views. If there is time, sessions will also include an open and informal discussion of the latest art news and issues, book recommendations, exhibitions visited, reports from the local arts scene. It is essential that all members are prepared to present at least one topic during the two terms; enthusiasm and raising questions are more important than expertise and professional experience although those are always welcome.
