Hey Guys, For this event, we'll be sketching at Bundoora Homestead. A Queen Anne Federation styled, heritage home built in 1900 on Wurundjeri grounds by John Matthews and Vincent Smith. The property had previously served as a family home and repatriation facility before being refurbished as a public gallery in 2001. **Meetup Details:** We'll be meeting at the centre entrance at **11:00am** before making our way to the Cafe (adjacent to the exhibition entrance.) I've booked a table for 11 people. You guys can chill, draw, have something to eat/drink, and soak in the view of the Mansion gardens before viewing the exhibition upstairs. Or if you want, do it the other way around. *If you're looking to eat something substantial, I highly recommend having lunch beforehand as the cafe only serves light refreshments* **Public Transport and Parking:** **Route 86 tram** You can get off either at **Mt Cooper Dr** or **Greenwood Dr** to get to the homestead. **Mt Cooper Dr** (quicker route in my opinion) * Turn **Right onto Mt Cooper Dr** * Turn **Left at Boadle Rd** * Turn **Right on JV Smith Street (no through Road)** * **Walk Right on Snake Gully Dr** till you see a **wooden gate**, the main entrance is accessible from there. **Greenwood Dr:** * Turn Right onto Greenwood Dr and continue straight down the pathway near the cricket grounds till you see the homestead. **Parking:** * Parking is located directly in front of the venue and it's free :) Looking forward to meeting you guys there :)

Sun, Sep 27, 4:00 AM
From Socrates Cafe Melbourne

Art has been part of human life for as long as we have tried to express, interpret, and give meaning to our experience. But what actually makes something art, and why do certain works move us while others do not? Our discussion will centre around the nature, meaning, and value of art. This session will be hosted by Daniel. We will meet at **Captain Melville** at **2pm** for a **2:15pm** start sharp. **Please note the new $5 mandatory donation entry fee** (cash or transfer on the day) to help with Meetup subscription costs. There is no prerequisite preparation necessary, nor any philosophical background required; all that is needed is a curious mind. These discussions are both a Socrates Café-style discussion and a lively philosophical dojo in the spirit of learning and friendly debate. We welcome your self-reflections, and encourage you to question assumptions while being prepared to have your own assumptions questioned. This event is also posted to the **Philosophy Circle** group. **Possible questions:** * **What are we really saying when we call something “art”?** * **Why does art matter at all?** * **If taste is subjective, why do we argue about whether art is good?** * **Where does the meaning of an artwork live?** And any other questions or curiosities about this topic people might have on the day! Here is a quote. > **“Isn’t the point of art less what people put into it and more what people get out of it?”** Todd Chavez in S6 EP16 *BoJack Horseman*: Hope to see you there!
