The walk in Canary Wharf, Old Flo and Her Friends: the public art of Canary Wharf led by Bridget Daley, has been reinstated on 4 December and there are a few places still available.
The Society’s Annual General Meeting this year will be held on Tuesday 26 November at The Art Workers’ Guild at 5pm, and you will find access to all the relevant papers here. The meeting will be followed at 6pm by a lecture entitled Alphonse Mucha: The Man, The Artist, The Legacy given by his great-grandson, Marcus Mucha. We hope you will be able to join us for refreshments afterwards which provides an opportunity to talk to other members. A joint ticket will be issued for the AGM and lecture.
We hope that you are enjoying our current programme of events. We are always interested to hear any comments or suggestions about the Society and its work, so please email the Secretary, secretary@londonarthistorysociety.org.uk, or write to us via our correspondence address: c/o Tudor Cottage, Stoke Prior, Leominster, Herefordshire HR6 0LG.
