Who is The Arts Society Eastbourne?

We are a local charitable society, affiliated to the national Arts Society, serving Eastbourne and the surrounding areas.  We promote the arts to the general public, mainly by running lectures, study days and trips covering a wide variety of arts-related subjects.  We also support local arts-based charities, educational establishments and community groups.

We operate an annual membership, open to all, which gives members access to nine monthly lectures, our regular newsletter and the quarterly Arts Society magazine.  We welcome all new members! Please contact Maggie on tasememsec@yahoo.com if you would like to join.

We also welcome visitors although due to space constraints in the hall we must limit the number of visitors at our monthly lectures, generally to a maximum of 5 per lecture. Priority will also be given to members for other space-limited events such as study days and trips.  Therefore prebooking for non-members is essential - please contact Maggie on tasememsec@yahoo.com. We welcome anyone, subject always to space constraints and safety considerations. We do ask for a voluntary donation from non-members; we suggest £10 per lecture but you are free to give whatever you wish. 

We always welcome feedback on the lectures and suggestions regarding future topics. 

We also welcome help with running our Society! If you are a member and could help with maintaining the website or the Facebook page, with researching Arts Volunteering programmes, with 'meeting and greeting' members on lecture days, or  handling our liaison with East Dean Hall, we would love to hear from you! Please contact Chris, our Chair, on christopherdyetase@gmail.com
