We had another great evening on 31st August. Many thanks to Annabelle Mason for singing so well and entertaining us before the lecture. Chloe Sayer is an exceptional speaker. Her lecture on Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera was beautifully constructed and superbly illustrated. Captivating the audience with her expressive and energetic delivery, she described the colourful and volatile lives of the two iconic artists, pointing out their foibles without compromising her deep admiration for their artistic legacies.<\/span><\/p>\n Annual Bundanon Lunch<\/b><\/p>\n Let us usher in spring and celebrate another fabulous year at ADFAS Shoalhaven.
