Ashtead Art Lovers is led by Mell Fraser and is an informal social group who look at art and social history.    People are often interested in art, but shy about voicing their opinions.  These forums take the format of a power point presentation on a given subject and are designed to encourage a rolling discussion in a relaxed and comfortable setting.

AAL is based in the Surrey village of Ashtead and in addition to the talks, we  organise visits to exhibitions and places of interest.  These visits are preceeded by a talk providing participants with some background knowledge thus enhancing their enjoyment of any visit. 

Whether you are just beginning to explore the world of art or want to look at art history in greater depth  AAL provides the perfect starting point.

From time to time essays on various subjects will appear on this site.  Students of art history are welcome to quote my work provided proper accreditation is given.  Any breach of copyright will be prosecuted.
