Friends are invited to the Chelsea Arts Club for an exclusive tour led by Club Secretary, Geoffrey Matthews.
Chelsea Arts Club is a private members club in the heart of Chelsea, with a membership drawn from across the creative arts. Established in 1891, the Club has occupied the same house in Old Church Street since 1902. Bohemian in character, it has always been famed for its clientele and legendary parties. To this day the Club is run by artists for artists.
Hear from Club Secretary Geoffrey Matthews about some of the Club’s most fascinating hidden histories. During the tour, get glimpses of the Club’s private collection of artworks, given and produced by some of its best-known members. Join us to explore a unique institution which, like the RA, has a long history as one of London’s most influential artistic hubs.
This event will also be held on 27 April 2018.
