SUMMARY:Special Interest Event With Claudia Chan Shaw
DESCRIPTION:Two lectures with Claudia Chan Shaw: \n1. BEYOND THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS – CHANEL\nFashion is what’s in vogue\, the latest trend\, the up to the minute. Fashion is ever changing. Yet 100 years on\, the designs and ideas created by Coco Chanel are just as relevant today. We have Chanel to thank for popularising the Little Black Dress\, championing pants for women and creating the first designer branded fragrance. Join Claudia Chan Shaw to discover Chanel’s influence and the legacy of the Little Black Dress\, showing that\, as Chanel once said\, “Fashion fades\, only style remains.” \n2. MATERIAL GIRL – BAUBLES\, BANGLES\, AND BLING\nA bauble\, a bead\, a charm\, a trinket – the need for adornment has existed since pre-historic times. Jewellery can be a token of love\, the realm of royalty or a cherished legacy. Join Claudia Chan Shaw for an engaging discussion exploring the world of jewels from a Roman Empire charm bracelet to the\nwedding ring\, the designs of Cartier\, Bakelite\, costume jewellery and beyond. \nDates and Locations \nThursday 25 June 2026 Adelaide (SA) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Paintbrushes At Dawn: The World’s Greatest Artistic Feuds
DESCRIPTION:The celebrated controversialist\, Christopher Hitchens\, once wrote that a first rate bust up requires one of at least two things: a clash of strong personalities\, and a conflict of principles. The history of art is peppered with first rate bust ups: between the Renaissance artists\, Brunelleschi and Ghiberti\, between Constable and Turner in the early 1830s\, between Salvador Dali and the Surrealist leader\, Andre Breton in the 1930s and\, most recently\, between the graffiti artists Banksy and ‘King’ Robbo\, who painted over each other’s works. There are many more. They are highly entertaining\, but they also highlight key issues in art history. \nDates and Locations \nWednesday 1st July 2026 Yarra (VIC) \nFriday 10 July 2026 Brisbane River (QLD) \nSaturday 11 July 2026 Gold Coast (QLD) \nThursday 16 July 2026 Brisbane (QLD) \nSaturday 18 July 2026 Noosa (QLD) \n​Sunday 19 July 2026 Sunshine Coast (QLD) \nSaturday 25 July 2026 Rockhampton (QLD) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Spectacular Bodies: Art\, Anatomy\, Medical Science
DESCRIPTION:Without the help of some supremely talented artists\, sculptors\, draughtsmen and engravers\, the practice of medicine would not have advanced as rapidly as it did.

SUMMARY:Renaissance Rivals: How Competition Between Leonardo\, Michelangelo and Raphael Provided the Fuel that Drove the Italian Renaissance. Special Interest Event
DESCRIPTION:This special interest event will look at three giants of the Italian Renaissance who were involved in fierce competition with each other: Leonardo\, the master\, Michelangelo\, the brooding upstart genius\, and Raphael\, the artist who carefully crafted a stellar career in the shadows\, to emerge as a bright light that was tragically extinguished by an early death just as he began to be recognised in his own right. \n‘Everything that Raphael had\, he took from me’\, is what Michelangelo remarked as Pope Julius II pitted them against each other in the Vatican. \nDates and Locations \nThursday 2 July 2026 Chatswood (NSW) \nWednesday 15 July 2026 Canberra (ACT) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

DESCRIPTION:When Lucy goes through the wardrobe into Narnia\, when Harry Potter opens his letter and when Neo takes the red pill\, they all discover that the worlds they thought they knew are only part of the truth.
