NADFAS East Surrey Area | Education and Events

East Surrey Area events are open to all, including non-members of NADFAS. We hope to welcome you soon.

The Area Co-ordinator for Education (ACE) organises Study Days, Days of Special Interest and Tours, which provide the opportunity to look at subjects in more depth than is often possible at a society lecture, encouraging discussion and a chance to explore new ways of looking at art. The ACE also organises an annual seminar for Programme Teams to meet and exchange ideas and experiences.

Please contact the Area Co-ordinator for Education on e-mail for more information.
If you would like your name to be added to our e-contact list so that we can keep you informed of East Surrey Area Events, please send your e-mail address to chairman@nadfaseastsurreyarea.org.uk

Recent Events
Study Morning: Mosaics, Friday 25th November 2011 Jane Angelini will be delivering two lectures entitled "Symphonies in Colour: Byzantine and Italian Mosaics" at Dorking Halls.
Lecture morning on Cezanne father of modern art On 11th March East Surrey Area of NADFAS held an Area Event at the Yehudi Menuhin Hall in Stoke D’Abernon. Eveline Eaton presented a lecture morning on ‘Cezanne Father of Modern Art’, the third of a series of lectures on the Impressionist Movement, to a packed audience of 230 members and their friends. She followed the artist’s development from awkward beginnings through impressionism to become a great artist in his own right. The lectures were illustrated by a superb digital presentation which allowed the audience to compare early and later paintings and to see how Cezanne’s work influenced future artists such as Picasso and Braque. The morning was a great success and provided a fitting conclusion to the previous lecture mornings on Van Gogh and Gauguin held at Painshill Park in Cobham. The photo shows Pamela Watling (who organised the day), Eveline Eaton and Area Chairman, Lyn Slade.
