The Arts Society Arun Monthly Talk: Decoding Contemporary Art

The Arts Society Arun, Rustington
Our talk this month is by Jacky Klein. Many of us find contemporary art challenging, strange, provocative or downright silly. This lecture unravels the step changes in art since the 1870s, exploring how we got from impressionist paintings to the interactive, immersive, ephemeral, and postmodern art of today.
Doors open 9.30am. Everyone welcome. Guests £7 on the door. Coffee & biscuits available. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month. For more information, please email [email protected]
