The Arts Society
With its 50th anniversary in 2018, NADFAS has been rebranded as The Arts Society to make a clearer statement about the nature of the organisation.
As The Arts Society the arts can be brought to more people in more ways, making the most of the network already in place, but also engaging with a new generation.
Founded in 1968 by Patricia Fay, NADFAS is an arts-based charity, with over 340 local Decorative and Fine Art Societies in the UK and beyond. All NADFAS Societies subscribe to the aims and objects of the National Association: the advancement of arts education and appreciation and the preservation of our artistic heritage.
NADFAS promotes these aims through lectures on the fine and decorative arts in their widest sense, through study days, visits and tours and through volunteering activities, such as Church Recorders, Heritage Volunteers and Young Arts.
