A Lecture by Pepe Martinez on 9 October 2024 @ The Arts Society Horsham

In this visually stimulating lecture, Pepe Martinez guided us on a kind of psychedelic journey from The Capitol Theatre in Horsham to the Subway of New York, the streets of London, Paris and Berlin.  We got to know the lingo, the history and the techniques of graffiti art and the names that rose to fame such as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat whose death at aged 27 bestowed his iconic status.

The Arts Society Welwyn Garden visit to Saffron Walden

Towards the end of August a group of our members enjoyed an excellent coach trip to Saffron Walden. 

In the morning we visited the fascinating Fry Art Gallery, where we had a private visit with an interesting talk about the history of the gallery and its extensive art collection.

Following the art gallery our coach transported us to the spectacular early 17th century mansion Audley End. Here, in glorious sunshine, we had the opportunity to explore the lovely gardens and the fascinating house.
