Fundraising talk and art fair in Church Stretton

A talk and Winter Art Fair will be held at the Silvester Horne Institute, Church Stretton, on Friday (December 5).

With art historian Tom Parsons in aid of the White Grit Meadows Appeal.

The talk will look at ways in which farming and rural life have been portrayed in various paintings by a range of different European artists – some old, some more recent. Tom taught art history for 20 years in schools and worked for the Education Departments at the National Gallery and Tate. He has written books on Rodin, Post-Impressionism and the Royal Collection.
