The Arts SocietyThe National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies (NADFAS), operating under the name The Arts Society, is a national organisation in the United Kingdom promoting education in the arts and the preservation of artistic heritage. It was founded in 1968 and operates through a network of regional membership societies, with a headquarters in London. It is a registered charity under English law.[1] The charity was rebranded as The Arts Society in 2017,[2] but retains its official name. Its founding President was Sir Trenchard Cox.[citation needed] As of 2018[update] The Duchess of Gloucester is the society's patron, and Loyd Grossman is its president.[3] In 2011, NADFAS published a handbook[4] explaining how to record a church organ, and how to find existing publicly available details of a church organ on the National Pipe Organ Register in the United Kingdom. In 2020, it launched The Arts Society Connected, a digital platform hosting a series of free online lectures and other arts activities, to support its members and other people aged over 70 who were self-isolating during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.[5] See alsoReferences
