...and the answers to part 1!
Our Look Club has been meeting monthly for the last 3 years. It's a chance to take some time to really look at, think about, and talk about a piece of art, an exhibition or a particular artist. In the Gallery we are able to combine this with a visit to the Cafe and, for those who want it, a meal at the sharing table. Sadly, over the last few months, and possibly for some time to come, this hasn't been possible, but, thanks to Zoom, we have still been able to enjoy each other's company and share thoughts and ideas. All opinions are valued and listened to.
We are sharing our Look Club online with a three part quiz. Last month we posted 10 questions about 10 artists or art works which have been discussed in our Look Club. The questions are still available, just search under News for Our Look Club Quiz-Part 1 in the heading to the website. The answers are below this month's quiz.
