Light, Meaning, Solstice

Join Accredited Lecturer Julian Richards as he explores the celebration of light and life at Stonehenge and reflects on the significance of sunlight for prehistoric humans as a mark of the passage of time.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Our Societies support hundreds of local arts and heritage projects. Each day we highlight a grant given in 2021.  

The Art Society Blackheath has awarded a grant to Age Exchange, a hub of community activities specialising in reminiscence based intergenerational arts projects for people living with dementia, loneliness and isolation.

All donations from the Artvent Calendar will go towards The Arts Society’s grant giving fund, which awards grants to help preserve our artistic heritage, support the skills of artists and makers, and improve access to the arts for all.

What a beautiful presentation! I will look at the dark Autumn/Winter evenings in a different light from now on .

Thank you so much for your heartfelt presentation. We are indeed becoming alienated from the natural world. This was a reminder of that egregious loss (though I confess I'm very grateful for my warm house and neaarby supermarket!)

Thank you - I always enjoy listening to Julian Richards. Love reading about Sue's family break at the Stones in the 1940's. Drive past quite often but haven't visited for some years now - too commercialised for me.

So interesting. Thank you for this and all the other Artvents I have received this month.
Uplifting to look towards the lighter days, after today, amidst so much upheaval in our lives during the pandemic. As I write this, a watery sun is breaking through the clouds. Yay!
