It's encouraging to see members slowly returning to the Art Club. There may still be a little way to go before everyone feels confident about travel and gatherings. However, the general view is that the studio improvements, including ventilation, have worked well.

So, in addition to the current Tuesday life sessions and general painting on Thursdays and Fridays, Monday portrait and Wednesday life sessions will recommence from 6th September.
