About

Calling all art lovers!

Join art and colour educator Dr David Briggs for an evening of colour theory and conversation as part of Chromatic Luminosity at Manly Art Gallery & Museum.

We’ll use colour theory as a jumping-off point for a relaxed conversation around Chromatic Luminosity, exploring how colour, light and perception shape the way we experience painting. Bring your questions, observations and curiosity… there’s no right way to see it.

Seriously Amateur is a new series of casual talks and creative get-togethers for anyone who loves art. The word amateur comes from the Latin amare, meaning ‘to love’. So, if you love making it, looking at it, talking about it or are simply curious, come along to share ideas, meet other art lovers and explore colour together in a welcoming setting.
