Chester Art Centres Sunday Series is Back
Highly successful in 09, the Chester Art Centres Sunday Series of talks and lectures returns for 2010 - this year in honour of Donald Curley, who gave so much to Chester and its artistic life before his untimely death last year.
The series will run Sunday afternoons at the Art Centre, 60 Queen St. in Chester from 2-4 p.m. starting February 28th and running through April 25th.
The series kicks off on the last day of February with another mystery from the world of art history. Jane Reardon delves into the life of a famous controversial 19th century painter (no clues, it is a mystery) and explores the issues that led him to a life of art and travel.
On March 7th, Brian Crocker takes us deep into the seamy world of Art Theft, exploring its many forms - including wartime looting and some of the famous thefts from institutions and individuals - and why we find it so fascinating.
Artist and playwright Malcolm Callaway will take us into a world he has been exploring in his recent work on March 14th. Frescos Seccos is the title of his talk, and he will show us how it is done and explain why he finds this oldest of techniques so modern and exciting.
You don not have to wear a little black dress to hear Michael Collins explain haute couture and its role in sustaining the identity of the purchasing class on March 21st, but he will reveal why the ubiquitous LBD is so important, and why -alligator can be thought of as tacky- to fashionistas as well as the rest of us.
Art and antique expert Wayne Cameron will explain What Makes Fine Art Fine. In the first session, April 11th, Wayne will walk you through the different attributes of Canadian art, explaining the difference between investment and decorator art. In session two, April 18th, bring along a work of art that is near and dear to you for group discussion and Wayne will provide a free, verbal appraisal of your treasure. Who knows? Maybe Wayne will unearth a hidden masterwork, right here in Chester.
To wrap up the Sunday Series, -Instinctive gardener- Stewart McInnes makes his first appearance at the Art Centre on April 25th to talk about Tulips and More. Stewarts garden in Halifax is legendary and he will take us through a series of artful images that demonstrate why thousands of people over the years have gone out of their way to have a peek at one of the most gorgeous gardens in Nova Scotia.
Tickets are $15 per individual lecture, or if you sign up for the complete
