Art Lovers
The Art Lovers was originally formed in 2012 under a different name. The group aims to experience, discuss, but above all enjoy a wide variety of works of art through visits to exhibitions, galleries and museums, often including a guided tour or short talk by a museum or gallery expert. Early every year we meet to plan our next programme and try to vary it between trips to London for major exhibitions and more local visits to places such as Firstsite in Colchester, the Fry Gallery, Saffron Walden which focuses on the Great Bardfield artists, the Henry Moore Foundation at Perry Green, or the Visual Arts Centre at the University of East Anglia. Individual members or couples volunteer to arrange the different visits.
In 2024 we have already been to the Gainsborough Centre in Sudbury to see James Gillray’s Characters in Caricature and to the Holbein exhibition at Buckingham Palace. Our next venture will be to the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge for William Blake. Among expeditions planned later in the year are the Courtauld Gallery for Monet & London: Views of the Thames and the National Gallery for Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers. We endeavour to vary the programme as much as possible so that it offers something to suit all members. At the moment we are also investigating the possibility of hiring a minibus for transport to some of the further afield destinations as an alternative to car travel.
