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.
