The next Arts Society Greenwich Art Talk –

Art Nouveau in Europe and America

Monday 10th March


 

7.30pm start @James Wolfe School, Royal Hill Campus, Royal Hill, Greenwich, SE10 8RZ. (Parking available)


Our lecturer this month is Mariska Beekenkamp

 

For a short moment in time, between Arts & Crafts and Modernity, elegant curvy lines and patterns inspired by nature dominated a new type of art which decorated buildings, interiors and decorative objects. We will look at some of the most aesthetically revolutionary names from this period: Horta, Gaudi, Tiffany, and many more!

 

Mariska Beekenkamp read Social Psychology at the University of Amsterdam and was tempted to do a PhD in Decision Making Behaviour. In the end she turned to her true love - the Arts.

 

​Whilst having her three children, she completed her BA and MA in Art History, majoring in The Dutch Baroque Arts from the 17th century at the Courtauld Institute of Arts. She started as a College Lecturer, but soon after started her own company - Art Historical London offering art historical lectures, museum visits, courses, tours, travel and events from Amsterdam, London and New York, and since 2020 online. 

A fully accredited PTLLS lecturer, she also teaches on the public program of the Dulwich Picture Gallery, for the New York Adventure Club in the States, and can provide live, online and recorded lectures for groups or individuals.

 

If you are not already a member of The Arts Society Greenwich please do come on Monday at 7.30 as a guest and pay only £10 on the night.

 

If you like the experience sign up as a full member and enjoy 10 talks a year plus a host of membership benefits. Join up on the night or via our website.

 

We look forward to seeing you there.

Greenwich Market update

-
Here’s an update on the market rent increases from Royal Greenwich council leader Danny Thorpe: ‘Following concerns from Greenwich market traders about rent increases, I chaired a public meeting this week, alongside Cllr Denise Scott-McDonald and Cllr Aidan Smith with traders and representatives from Greenwich Hospital, the owners of the market.   ‘I am delighted that Greenwich Hospital has recognised the rent increase was a mistake and they have confirmed affected traders will receive a full refund. At the meeting, we had a constructive conversation about a range of issues and I’m hopeful we have found a way to ensure everyone is working to make Greenwich market thrive moving forward.’
