Back by popular demand: Claudia Chan Shaw! In 2022 she presented on Art Deco at our usual Thursday night lecture to a packed house and then the next day, a wonderful special interest half-day lecture on Coco Chanel and Florence Broadhurst. Afterwards, the audience asked how soon can she come back? She is back this month! We are looking forward to another fantastic evening in June. Tickets can be purchased at the door and include a glass of sparkling wine and mingling with Claudia and fellow art lovers after the lecture.
There are five more lectures in 2024 so don’t miss out. For more information on future lectures or joining ANShoalhaven, go to www.artsnational.au. Follow us on our Facebook page and Instagram: ArtsNational Shoalhaven.
COLLECTOMANIA: THE MIND OF THE COLLECTOR – Presented by Claudia Chan Shaw
Berry Uniting Church Hall, 71-77 Albert Street Berry
27th of June 2024 at 7:30 pm
What began as a childhood obsession with Humphrey Bogart led to a lifetime of collecting. Claudia Chan Shaw is a self-confessed Collectomaniac who discovered that she was not alone in her obsessions. One in three people collect something, gathering everything from Biggles books, Bakelite radios to perfume bottles and antiques. Join Claudia as she takes us into the mind of the collector.
Claudia has a multi-faceted career. She is co-host of television program Antiques DownUnder and was co-host of ABC TV’s popular program Collectors. Her book Collectomania navigates the curious world of collectors. Claudia presents Arts Friday, 89.7FM Eastside Radio and leads Art Deco tours around the world for the Art Gallery Society NSW. She is co-designer and director for acclaimed Australian fashion label, Vivian Chan Shaw.
Visitors are welcome. Visitors $25 and Student Visitors $15, tickets purchased at the door.
