ADFAS Armidale lecture is on Thursday, March 7 in the Memorial Hall, TAS, 6pm. The lecturer is Jacqueline Cockburn on Van Gogh and Gauguin: two of our favourite artists. This lecture will show the development of the careers of both artists until their final cohabitation in 1888 in Arles. It will chart their time together and explore letters and diaries to shed meaning on their shared experiences and turbulent natures. Bookings can be made through Trybooking.com. Lectures for non-members are $25, including drinks and light supper. For membership inquiries, ring Jane Gow on 6772 6441.
