June OutingSaturday 20th June 2009 The June Outing to the Abbey of Villers-la-Ville and to the Folon Foundation was cancelled as not enough people wanted to participate. Exhibition visit: ‘Heads and Shoulders’Saturday 15th November 2008ADFAS members visited this exhibition in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Antwerp. The exhibition highlighted portrait busts in the 17th and 18th centuries art in the Low Countries. Portrait sculpture is perhaps associated most readily with famous politicians, dignitaries, scientists and aristocrats. But they were by no means the only ones to be immortalised in marble. From the end of the 18th century, famous actresses were, for example, also commonly depicted. The exhibition was organised by the Flemish Art Collection, a structural partnership between the Groeninge Museum in Bruges, the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent and the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Pieces from all three museums were shown alongside sculptures from other Belgian and foreign collections.

Art Bring & Buy 
At the end of the afternoon
there was a wine and cheese
reception which was open to all ADFAS members, ABIW, ABCA and their
friends, not just those involved in the Art Bring & Buy Sale. There
was a very convivial and friendly atmosphere.
