Southern Italy and Sicily have long been the step-children of Italy, yet once the unification of these areas proved to be one of the longest running kingdoms in Europe, lasting for some 800 years without a change in boundary lines! Come spend the early spring at BSSS with Dr. Sara N. James, professor emerita of art history at Mary Baldwin and lecturer for Smithsonian Journeys and the National Trust Tours, and explore some of the rich history, art, architecture, and literature of Southern Italy and Sicily with two lectures on the contributions of the Ancient Greeks and Romans and two on the Normans—which some of you may not realize conquered Southern Italy before they conquered England!

Passages to Light

Friday, 11/15 – Sunday, 1/5/25

The Beverley Street Studio School from the start through today has been a source of continuing inspiration to me in the pursuit and enjoyment of art and painting. No better proof exists of its value to me than the fact that 25 years later I am still taking classes and still learning.

William C. Flournoy, BSSS Member

BSSS is truly a beneficial addition to the community and to each artist who participates in the unique and diverse programs. There are very few organizations that can compare to BSSS.
