EarthDiverse: Art Appreciation Café, Thursdays in November
Love Art? EarthDiverse is pleased to announce its first ever Art Appreciation Café on Thursday evenings in November.
Everyone is a potential artist, and everyone can appreciate and interpret art. At our Art Appreciation Café we meet for informal discussion about works of art, artists and artistic developments. Join us over a cuppa to view and talk about exemplary pieces of world art. During each of our 4 sessions we will discuss 4 very different works of art from diverse eras and geographical places of origin.
After a brief introduction by an expert, we invite everyone to share their personal observations and insights.
At our first session we discuss cave art from Lascaux, a painting from the Italian Renaissance, German Romanticism and a contemporary New Zealand sculpture.
The workshop's conveners Peter Dornauf and Norman Franke look forward to seeing you for four evenings of spirited discussion about the arts in November.
Coffee, tea & biscuits will be available during each weekly session.
Thursdays beginning 7 November, 7:00-8:30pm, in Hamilton, New Zealand.
For more info on this and all of our other courses on offer this Term (beginning the week starting Sunday 20 October 2024, visit our website by clicking on the Read More button below.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Giant tui takes flight on Te Awa River Ride Art Trail
Spotting a tui is usually enough to make anyone pause what they are doing to behold its beauty - but this one will definitely stop you in your tracks.
The tracks in this case are on the Te Awa River Ride, the new cycle and walking trail that runs alongside the Waikato River. A section of the route, between central Cambridge and the Grassroots Trust Velodrome, is in the process of becoming a grand outdoor art gallery.
