The Arts Society Shrewsbury, formed in 1982, is a member society of the Arts Society, one of some 384 member societies in the UK and mainland Europe, and even in New Zealand and Australia.  We are also part of The Arts Society West Midlands Area.

Our members come from all over Shropshire and meet in the afternoon on the third Wednesday of each month, except July and August, at the Sovereign Suite, Shrewbury Town Football Club (see 'Lectures' in menu above) ten times a year.  We offer members the opportunity to join a varied programme of Special Interest Days, visits to galleries, museums and historic buildings within a day’s travelling of Shrewsbury and also arrange an annual four day tour further afield.

We are actively engaged in supporting local Arts Volunteering projects and our Church Recording group has just completed its fourth survey.  Our Heritage Volunteers are supporting projects at Shrewsbury Abbey and The Soldiers of Shropshire Museum at Shrewsbury Castle.

Our aims are to offer you an opportunity to enrich your knowledge and interest in all aspects of the arts, to meet people of like mind in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere, and to foster active participation in the preservation of our cultural heritage.

We welcome new members; If you would like to join The Arts Society Shrewsbury please complete and return the downloadable membership form which you can find by clicking Our Society/Documents at the top of this page. Or contact us here for more information.  We look forward to seeing you!
