Adam Chadwick - Staithes: Life, Light and Landscapes

“To write the name Longster takes me straight back to Staithes, the memory of which is so beautiful in every way. Perhaps the happiest days of my life were spent with the dear friends I made there... great, good and wonderful people.”

This year’s new book about the Staithes Art Club has been long awaited. Its author, Adam Chadwick, explores the lives of the artists who painted in the village and along the surrounding coast. His talk will be illustrated with pictures from private collections and museum storerooms.
