Alright folks. Bit of a random one, but I'm Sarah James and I've been asked to organise a new evening class at the Horsebridge Arts Centre in Whitstable on modern art, starting in January. Before you run for the hills – no, you don't need to know anything about art. At all. It's strictly for beginners. The plan is to keep it informal, have a bit of a laugh, but also learn what modern art is all about. If you're even slightly tempted, look at the enrolment site. It might make a nice unusual Christmas present - https://www.tiny.cc/storyofmodernart
Or a nice way to beat the January blues.
Happy Christmas!
Sarah
