Welcome to the website of the Tiverton Decorative and Fine Arts Society!
Some of the information, lecture dates for example, has yet to be verified; however you can contact us immediately for up to date information by emailing info@tivertondfas.org
We are based in Tiverton, Devon, in the English West Country.
We
are affiliated to
NADFAS, the National Association of Decorative and Fine
Arts Societies and are part of the
South West area. As well as supporting
our societies, especially with a
comprehensive Directory of approved
lecturers, the Association's concerns include voluntary work to maintain
historic buildings, recording churches
and their contents, working towards
developing the arts for the young and
arranging tours for members.
Our main activity is to have a monthly lecture,
normally illustrated with projected photographs, on
an Art History topic.
The Society welcomes
new members, and
we currently have vacancies in the membership.
Our programme runs from September to June (April excluded) each year, with meetings in Tiverton on the second Monday evening of each month at the Tiverton Hotel where parking is not a problem.
We have lectures from first class speakers, each a national or international expert in his or her field. Subjects cover a huge range of topics in the Arts – porcelain, painting, furniture, clocks, sculpture, architecture, jewellery …. and much more.
We also run study days and field trips for members.
