Welcome to The Arts Society South West London
We are a registered charity (no 1195700) based in Putney, but our members also come from Barnes, Sheen, Roehampton, Fulham and other surrounding areas. Meetings, which are normally held at the Putney Leisure Centre, take place on the second Monday of each month (except April and August) at 8.00 pm when we have a varied programme of illustrated lectures by Arts Society speakers who are all experts in their own specialist fields.
We also organise day visits to places of special historic or architectural interest and have a study morning each year for in-depth lectures focusing on the year’s Away Trip, which alternates between the UK or abroad.
Details of all our activities are can be found on our website. We welcome new members and if you would like more information about joining us, please visit www.theartssocietyswlondon.org.uk

John Singer Sargent, noted for his society portraits, travelled extensively. This lecture looks at the luminous works from his travels.
Hopelessly unsuccessful in his life time, Van Gogh's works are now instantly recognisable. The lecture examines this enigma.
This lecture explores Charles I's life and how his love of art have enhanced art collections of the UK and of Europe.
