The Arts Society was originally founded in 1968 and is a worldwide organisation based on a love of the Arts in all its forms. With around 360 local Decorative and Fine Arts Societies in the UK, mainland Europe and the Antipodes, its principal objective is the promotion and advancement of the aesthetic education of the public. Other aims include the cultivation, appreciation and study of the Arts, and the giving of aid to the preservation of our national artistic heritage for the benefit of the public. It also provides members with enormous pleasure and fun.
