VOLUNTEERING
Volunteering with The Arts Society provides opportunities to learn new skills, meet people with similar interests and support the arts within the local community.
The Arts Society Connected
We want to enrich lives through the arts: even if we cannot leave our homes. During the the current situation many people will feel isolated and lonely. Visit our new site, The Arts Society Connected, to connect with people through a shared love for the arts.
