Welcome to The Arts Society Hamburg

Online lectures

The Arts Society Hamburg has been running its lectures live on Zoom since June 2020, when it became impossible to hold face to face meetings/lectures. These Zoom lectures have been extremely successful and we will continue to do this until such time as we can meet together safely again and fly the lecturers over from the UK.  

 

We ran an online wine-tasting recently too and this was a lot of fun at a time when nobody can go to any social events or outside group activities.  

 

Our next lecture “The Last Dance: The Danse Macabre in Medieval and Renaissance Art” by Sophie Oosterwijk takes place on Tuesday 16 March at 7 pm (CET) on Zoom and full details can be found here if you click on "Next Lectures” on the right of this page.

 

You can use Zoom on your computer or iPad and even your iPhone.  These lectures are running live, they are not a film and you can ask the lecturer questions and see who is watching.  

 

Guests are more than welcome.  To register for this lecture and any others in the future, contact:  hamburg@theartssociety.org

 

Pat Pledger and the Committee
 
The British Decorative and Fine Arts Society of Hamburg e.V. (BRIDFAS) was founded in 1987 to stimulate interest in the decorative and fine arts and to promote a greater awareness of international cultural heritage. Its head office is based in London and it is a leading arts education charity with over 385 Societies worldwide and over 90,000 members. In 2017 the name was changed to The Arts Society and we became The Arts Society Hamburg e.V. In 2018 we celebrated our 30th anniversary and the Arts Society celebrated its 50th!

The Arts Society Hamburg provides an annual programme of illustrated lectures for its members, given in English, mostly by lecturers from the UK, chosen for their expert knowledge about the arts. Study days are also provided, as well as visits to museums and places of interest both in Germany and abroad.
