Welcome to The Arts Society Uckfield, Lewes & Newick

The clocks have gone forward and Spring appears to have sprung (well, just about)!  We can still look forward to two more lectures in our current programme.

Looking Ahead to the Lecture on Wednesday 13 May  

Is Ephemera Really Art? That is both a slightly provocative question and also the title of Dr John Scott's lecture on 13 May.

Valentine cards, trade cards, vignettes, even the humble invoice, were all used as a means of promoting an enterprise some 200 years ago. Designed by well-known engravers and artists of the day, such ephemera (whether Rococo, Gothic or Art Nouveau in style) were a reflection of the age. Using his personal archive, Dr Scott will illustrate how ephemera really can be art.

Details of the full programme can be found in the Events section of this website..

We continue to be pleased to welcome Visitors/Guests (whether or not accompanied by Members) to our lectures for a small fee, £8, payable at the door.

For all Membership and General Enquiries, please email uckfieldlewesnewick@theartssociety.org.  
Please note that our email address will be changing shortly, so do check back here for updates.
