Hi all
I have just received an email, it’s a shame for us but Birmingham have decided to do some much needed upgrade to some of the Museum, therefore closing the whole place, except for one small area
This information was not available when I made enquiries last year.
I feel it’s not cost effective to go to see just the Cathedral, beautiful though it is.
Let me know if you are in agreement please before I cancel the coach etc.
I am proposing we rebook late summer, which is the expected reopening .
Another art event will be available soon.
Friday January 2024 Join Art with our Curator Amanda Draper, as she explores the work of Fanchon Fröhlich. Abstract Expressionist, Philosopher and Physicist, Fanchon creates her own quantum realms within her art, questioning the notions of observation, existence, and aesthetics. Anna will explore the work of Fröhlich’s contemporaries and their connections to the artists’ practice, in order to contextualise her abstract thinking.
11.am train to central then either bus / taxi or walk up to Victoria Gallery and Museum Ashton Street Liverpool L69 3DR, at back of Metropolitan Cathedral
arrival time 12.noon for lunch if required? tour. 1.30 pm

We are now booked at a nearby Premier Inn, Hayle Cornwall, a short drive from St Ives, at £30 00 extra pax., with b/b and a two course evening meal deal..

Top of Brownlow Hill, behind Metropolitan Cathedral Lovely cafe on site ,if you’ve never been here before take a step back in time.
Edward Burne Jones and William Morris, what a collaboration of artistic talents|? Hope to do a trip to visit the beautiful stained glass windows in the Cathedral. £30 including coach and entry. Cost depending on 30 members plus Birmingham Art Galley just a short walk from Cathedral ( free entry ) We learn something every day and I have j done just that. Watching Flog it, one of my favourite Jewelers, Arthur Gaskin has a selection of his and his wife Georgie’s beautiful creations at the Museum. I have been trying to get a tour of this gallery, however it will add a little to the cost. Who cares? When such wonderful art is on show. Not had any confirmation as yet of tour. But we’re going anyway we can always look in awe.
Date February 14th 8.30 am from Maghull Square. Home about 6pm
Make it a Valentines Day date.

Sefton Artists was formed in 2010 by a small group of artists. They met weekly to paint and share ideas. From their small beginnings the group has grown and now includes members from all regions of Sefton and from West Lancs. They meet weekly in Lydiate Village Centre. This is a free event, just call in if your Christmas shopping in Southport
