Social Events

The Guild has an interesting programme of events for members, centred primarily on London, which includes exclusive visits and tours of houses and collections, exhibitions relating to the arts and the City and an annual lecture.

Each year a black tie dinner is held at a City Livery Hall with a prestigious speaker from the art world, as well as less formal lunches and dinners, giving the opportunity to visit others of the forty or so halls in the City, including our adoptive home - Furniture Makers’ Hall.

The Guild has taken as its emblem this marble head of Mithras of about 180-220 AD. It was discovered during the excavation of the late Roman temple of Mithras just off Queen Victoria Street after the Second World War and is now in the Museum of London.

Mithras was a complex cult figure embodying light, truth and regeneration.

To the Guild of Art Scholars this emblem represents the history which lies everywhere beneath the surface of the City of London.
