The Worshipful Company of Arts Scholars presents Holland & the Dutch Masters.

The latest edition of an Arts Scholars tradition: the Friday Fish and Chips lunch at the City University Club. The lunch will include Fish and chips, a glass of wine, dessert of the day, coffee and chocolates and a staff gratuity.

Join fellow Arts Scholar, Christopher Claxton Stevens, for a Chelsea Riverside Walking Tour. Principal attractions are major historic houses, including Crosby Hall (exterior only), 19th century artists’ dwellings, the site of the Chelsea Porcelain factory, the village church (hopefully with a visit inside) and Cremorne Gardens. The tour will finish on Lots Road.

We will visit Cockpit Studios, a top venue for contemporary artists. There, we will meet three leading artists: Katharine Coleman MBE (glass engraver), Clunie Fretton (wood carver), and Ute Decker (artist jeweller).

Join other Arts Scholars for an informal early evening social dinner. This event will provide the perfect opportunity to chat, network and simply have time to get to know one another during a relaxed evening.

Arts Scholars and their guests are invited to attend the installation ceremony of Master Elect, Deborah Charles, as the eighteenth Master Arts Scholar.
The other officers to be installed are: Roy Sully as Deputy Master, John Benjamin as Upper Warden, Sonya Zuckerman as Middle Warden and Mary Foster as Renter Warden.
Afterwards there will be a reception and dinner to celebrate this important occasion.

Hall Place, a hidden gem, was built in 1537 for Lord Mayor Sir John Champneys, it was then purchased by Sir Robert Austin who added a wing in 1649. The house in set in 65 hectares of garden. The visit includes a guided tour of the house and an unguided tour of the gardens.

The Master, Wardens and Court of Assistants are delighted to mark the 21st anniversary of the creation of the Arts Scholars Guild and the 11th anniversary of reaching Livery status by holding a celebratory lunch party in the Walled Gardens at Claydon Estate with the kind permission of fellow Arts Scholar Alexandra Verney and her husband Nicholas.
