The Arts Society Ebor – Welcome!
We are members of The Arts Society, which opens up the arts through a national network of local societies.
Each month, usually on the second Wednesday, we offer a lecture by an expert in their field. We meet in The Shepherd Hall at St.Olave’s School, York, at 6pm for a 6.30pm start. Our current lecture programme can be seen here.
We also run outings, trips and study days, some of which specifically complement the lecture programme. Resuming our trips after a break for Covid, we visited Liverpool and Dundee in 2022, and have previously visited The Borders and Cambridge. We visit galleries, country houses, craft workshops and museums. Trips abroad have included India, Sicily, The Veneto and Romania, and an Art Nouveau and Art Deco trip to Lille and Antwerp is planned for Spring 2023.
Although we have programme breaks in August and December, each year we may organise a summer party and a Christmas event.
Subscriptions for 2022/23 are £53 for individuals or £100 for joint membership where two people share the same address. This covers ten lectures. Guests are welcome to come to two lectures a year for £10 each. Students pay £5 per lecture.
Other Member benefits include a copy of The Arts Society Review magazine (3 times per year) and opportunities to join in a range of national and regional lectures and study days.
You can apply for membership using the form here, or sign up for membership in person at one of our lectures.
I look forward to meeting you!
Janet Dean (Chair)
