Our upcoming events
The NGV is the largest art gallery in Australia. This illustrated talk by Graham Ray, who is an erstwhile NGV Voluntary Guide, will look at a selection of works from the NGV, from different countries, and across different periods of time. The talk will reveal the richness and diversity in the collection, and also some of the less well-known intriguing stories behind these works (Which work of art was stolen from the wall of the NGV? Which well-known artist has his artistic design work on the wrapping paper of lollies available in Coles?). You will also see arguably the largest work of art in the southern hemisphere, and other fascinating art.
The AGM is the most important meeting of the year for Nillumbik U3A members. By attending, you can contribute to the running of our organisation and find out the latest on the issues facing us.
For catering and quorum reasons, we are asking you to email us if you are planning to attend.
After the meeting, there will be time to catch up and socialise over free food and drink.
