NADFAS

Arts Education and Heritage Conservation

 

The National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies encourages learning, giving, studying and friendship, and "above all NADFAS must be fun" said its founder.

 

NADFAS was launched in 1968 by Patricia Fay with eleven societies and has expanded to over 340 societies in the UK and Mainland Europe, three in New Zealand and a sister association in Australia (AADFAS). With thousands of members worldwide, NADFAS works towards promoting and preserving the arts. 40th Anniversary Celebrations were held in Liverpool in 2008.

 

The Association's concerns include 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.

If you are not yet a member of our society why not become an Affiliate Member of NADFAS for just £10.00 per year to enjoy a free subscription to NADFAS Review, which is a beautifully illustrated quarterly magazine,  offering information on art courses, study days, current events and interesting articles on the arts and cultural pursuits.  The Affiliate Membership gives you access to a nationwide programme of vibrant and thought-provoking study days and events, as advertised in NADFAS Review and on the NADFAS website.  An Affiliate Member can participate in NADFAS volunteering activities, join specially tailored cultural tours, at home and overseas, organised by NADFAS travel affiliates and enjoy occasional ticket offers and concessions from museums and galleries across the country.
