The Guild

About The Guild

This club explores the lives of artists, critics, and cultural personalities, delving into stories of creativity, colour, and courage alongside the darker tales of art theft, forgery, and crime. With each selection, we move through the worlds of bookmakers, sellers, artists, writers and collectors discovering how art in all its forms shapes history, identity, and imagination. The Guild is here for learning and conversation — a society for those who believe that books, like artworks, are to be studied, savoured, and shared.

The Salon

We meet virtually once a month. Meetings will be held via Zoom/Google Meet.

Footnotes

Diverse ideas and viewpoints are encouraged in this space, and we ask that all discussions remain friendly and open-minded. If you haven’t finished the book, not to worry—your contributions, however partial, are always appreciated. Thoughtful disagreement is welcome, provided the dialogue remains respectful and constructive.
