THE DISCOVERING ART STUDY GROUP mainly studies painting, although is interested in all forms of art.
The monthly talks are presented by members except in August when traditionally the group hires a coach to visit a gallery or art collection outside London. A visit may also be arranged at any time should there be an exhibition of particular interest in, say, Cambridge or Birmingham.
A particular school, era, or aspect of painting is studied in depth each year by a small focus group, and its findings usually presented to the main meeting.
Members naturally follow London exhibitions with interest, and the group subscribes to the National Gallery bi-monthly programme. Other programmes and lists of current and future exhibitions are available at meetings.
Two members run the library, others provide the technology, and everyone helps in some way to ensure the group's success.
