Welcome to Walton on the Hill Decorative and Fine Arts Society
A Member Society of NADFAS
Founded in 1968, NADFAS (the National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies) is a worldwide organisation based on a love of the Arts in all its forms. With over 340 local Decorative and Fine Art Societies in the UK and mainland Europe, its principal objective is the promotion and advancement of the aesthetic education of the public.
Other aims include the cultivation, appreciation and study of decorative and fine arts, and the giving of aid to the preservation of our national artistic heritage for the benefit of the public. It also provides members with enormous pleasure and fun.
Walton-on-the-Hill DFAS is a member society of NADFAS and was founded nearly 40 years ago, in 1974, making it one of the oldest societies, especially in Surrey. We meet monthly for lectures on a wide variety of subjects by proven speakers in their respective fields.
In addition, we organise Visits to art galleries, museums and places of special historic, architectural, cultural or topical interest at home & abroad. Our involvement is also extensive in activities such as Church Recording, Heritage Volunteers & Young Arts.
