Due to expected demonstrations in and around Pierhead this weekend, the lovely Liverpool Arts Fair, which we have visited many times, has informed me they have had to close two days early, so they will miss two days of trading. It will be a sad loss to our cities cultural heritage especially as this only the second year of the show returning after Covid. Maureen

More Tidy info, no joke!
Hi all
As we are not at the u3a on Tuesday 6th August, I am hoping those of you have booked in for the Bill Tidy talk at Atkinsons will see this post and pass on the information to any friends who are also going. I still don’t have emails addresses for everyone.
Atkinsons – we are still having technical issues , therefore can’t accept any card payments for cafe etc. If you want to have lunch here bring CASH. Take care Maureen
Anish Kapoor, September 13th 1p.m at Liverpool Cathedral
I have tried to get a talk / tour for this but have had no response as yet. I know we have a few things on September but I will be visiting as it is far too good to miss. The event ends on the 15th of September. If you would like to join the group visit let me know at the Art Appreciation desk or leave a reply,
Rokeby Venus. Re visited
For those who didn’t make it to the Walker Gallery this afternoon after our Van Gogh visit earlier.
Venus lived in Rokeby Hall, County Durham. Which we have visited on a previous Art Appreciation trip a few years ago. She wasn’t in residence then though.
- Hope you enjoy the pub visits this evening. .
I hope this makes you happy. It does me.
we are ever hopeful for our young people, art is the way forward.
I hope you are in agreement?
Take care.
