Arts Appreciation

We meet in The Friends Meeting House in Bath Place on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 10 am for a 10.30 start.


As well as members and visitors making presentations, we watch videos and slides loaned to us by the Third Age Headquarters. They have a wide range of these on the lives of artists and on artistic movements.

We have 'themed meetings' where members bring art associated with a given theme such as 'the weather'. These are then discussed.

We also regularly visit exhibitions in the art galleries in Exeter and Bristol.
