The Arts Society
is a UK based charity which encourages
learning, preserving our artistic
heritage, studying and friendship, and
"above all this must be fun" said its
founder.
The Arts Society
was launched as NADFAS (National
Association of Decorative and Fine Arts)
in 1968 by Patricia Fay with eleven
societies and has expanded to over 385
societies in the UK and Mainland Europe as
well as in New Zealand, and 35 in
Australia. With 98,000 members worldwide,
which works towards promoting and
preserving the arts. In 2010 The Arts
Society's Heritage Volunteers achieved the
milestone of contributing 300,000 hours,
saving museums and galleries £5m. The Arts
Society will be celebrating its 50th
anniversary in 2018 and plans to use
technology and the talents of its
volunteers, staff and partners to remain a
force in arts education for the next 50
years.
The Society helps
with voluntary work to maintain historic
buildings, recording churches and their
contents, working towards developing the
arts for the young and maintaining lecture
programmes and tours for members.
