Friend of our Club, Tim Acton, passes on this message about the Association of Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Societies (ADFAS)
Hi Rotary Club of Mount Eliza Members
ADFAS Mornington is holding its 2nd lecture of the 2021 season live (ie back to normal) on Fri 26th March at 5.30pm in the Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilson Road, Mornington.
The speaker will be Prof Peter McPhee AM and his subject will be “Two women paint the French Revolution”; the artists in the title are Adelaide Labelle-Guillard and Elizabeth Viquee-Lebrun and the lecture will outline the lives and achievements of these two extraordinary women.
Prof McPhee is an Australian academic, former Provost of University of Melbourne, author of several books on the French Revolution and French history and renowned speaker.
I personally am a huge fan of ADFAS, find their lecture series of a high standard every year irrespective of the subject and encourage you to consider becoming a member.
A good way to “put your foot in the water” would be to come to the lecture on Fri 26th March. The lecture runs from 5.30pm sharp for a little over an hour, followed by wine and sandwiches.
Cost for visitors is $30.00 per person (and less of course for members!).
If you would like to come along, please ring me on 0418 310727 and I will do the rest.
You will not be sorry!
Cheers Tim
