The Bloomsbury Beat Goes On…

Bloomsbury still exerts its influence in the world of art and design today, particularly since the restoration of Charleston with its active schedule of tours and lectures. The younger generation of “Bloomsberries” continues the tradition in its own ways, improvising and elaborating on the artistic rhythms.
