WELCOME TO THE ARTS SOCIETY AMERSHAM
If you are interested in any aspect of the Arts and artistic culture then our society is for you. We are not a painting group!! This website highlights the varied and well-balanced programme of monthly lectures and visits we provide. All our lecturers are acknowledged experts in their field and go through a rigorous selection process to ensure the highest quality before we engage them.
The Arts Society Amersham supports projects in local schools to help the young both appreciate art and participate in a wider creative curriculum. We also work with The Amersham Museum, Milton’s Cottage and others to protect and promote our national and local artistic heritage by giving grants and becoming actively involved.
The Arts Society Amersham fits within an international structure. There are over 360 Arts Societies across the UK, mainland Europe, New Zealand, and Australia. The first Arts Society was founded locally by Patricia Fay in 1965 to study and enjoy fine arts and antiques. The idea quickly spread and led to the national and then international foundation of NADFAS as an arts charity. (National Association of Decorative and Fine Art) which was renamed a few years ago to simply ‘The Arts Society’.
