Art Appreciation Summer Special
Art Appreciation Summer Special is happening again!
A week of looking at great paintings and sculptures in the heart of London. We will discuss the lives and work of great artists, and you will have the chance to try your hand at painting a landscape and sketching a portrait. A real live artist will talk about their work and allow you to look into the life of an artist. Art Appreciation is a regular weekly event that happens in Soho on a Tuesday night at 6.30pm in Soho. You are very welcome to join us, even if you have never been to any of our events before.
