A NEW art venture will be introduced in Okehampton next month by the Arts Society Dartmoor.

The society, formerly known as NADFAS, in association with the The Arts Society South Western Region is launching a new five week course with the title, ‘Am I Missing Something?’

The course will run on Tuesdays from 10am to 3pm at the All Saints hall in Okehampton.

The course will introduce professional speakers who will give three lectures each week.

The aim is to introduce participants to different aspects of fine art and to help them gain a greater understanding.

Topics will range from Artists and Greek Mythology to Stained Glass, Rennie Macintosh the Scottish architect to Colonial Art of South America.

Tim Newcombe, the vice chairman of The Arts Society said: ‘We are really excited to have this new development based here and the places on the course have been filling up quite quickly.’
