We meet on the second Thursday of the month (not in July and August).  Lecture meetings begin promptly at 10.30am and usually finish by noon.

Members and guests are welcome from 9.50am, when we serve coffee and biscuits until 10.20am, giving everyone the opportunity to meet and chat before the lecture begins.

The presentations are of a high standard and given by experts approved by The Arts Society. They cover a great variety of subjects. The Arts Society New Milton is run by volunteers.

By ‘the arts’, we mean the decorative and fine arts, in their broadest sense.

  • The decorative arts are arts or crafts concerned with the design and manufacture of beautiful objects that are also functional, and include: enamelwork, pottery, furniture, glassware, rugs and carpets, metalware, stained glass, tapestry, mosaics, floral decoration and lacquerwork.
  • The fine arts have always been: painting, sculpture, architecture, music, literature, with performing arts including theatre and dance. Today they also include film, photography and more.

Members are automatically enrolled in THE ARTS SOCIETY with its benefits which include the glossy magazine THE ARTS SOCIETY REVIEW three times a year.

We welcome members of the public to join the Society, and if you would like to come along to a meeting to see what it’s like, please get in touch through 'Contact Us'.
