ARTS SOCIETY
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.
The Arts Society of West Suffolk is a member society. Their aims are to promote the appreciation of the Arts and the preservation of our artistic heritage. Founded in 1972, they meet monthly (October to June) for lectures on a wide range of topics by experienced and highly qualified lecturers accredited by The Arts Society. There are also usually two Special Interest Workshops arranged during the year at which a subject is studied in greater depth. The Society again organises visits to art galleries, museums, and places of historic and artistic interest. see West Suffolk Arts Society
