Art Study Tours is about gatherings of small groups of like minded people who are passionate about art and conversation. We visit European centres of excellence to engage with works of art at first hand, to encourage and stimulate those who may be intimidated by what they see to look, talk and enjoy. Originally Open University course led, we welcome those who wish to be better informed and to embark on a journey of discovery which will be life long. Having a base also in Southern France is ideal for visits to centres such as Avignon, Orange and Nimes.
