About us

We are an independent member of The Arts Society which is based in UK. The Arts Society was formerly known as  the National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies (NADFAS). In 2017 it was decided that the term decorative and fine arts no longer described accurately its wide range of arts-related interests and activities and the society changed its name. As a member of NADFAS we, too, changed our name in 2017. 

The Arts Society has over 380 societies throughout the UK, and there are now 13 Societies in Europe and 24 in Australia. Together they represent a worldwide membership of over 90,000. The Arts Society Nerja is a thriving society with over 200 members.

 Our primary aim is to further the enjoyment, knowledge and awareness of the Arts internationally, and to stimulate interest in the artistic heritage of Spain.

what we do

LECTURES 

The season of activities runs from October to May. For the 24-25 season we are offering 11 lectures, 6 of which  are given by The Arts Society lecturers. They cover a wide range of artistic, historical and cultural topics.

CULTURAL TOURS

We organize several art-related one day trips per season, plus a multi-day cultural tour to various parts of Spain and Europe, as well as social and cultural activities.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

We organize activities so members can meet each other. Sometimes there is a dinner after a lecture. Everyone is welcome, but you must book beforehand with the dinners co-ordinator – a booking form is available on the website for a couple of weeks before the lecture.

We organize a Coffee morning in November for New Members to get to know them and so they can meet other new members. This is followed by a talk in the Museo de Nerja.

CHARITY ART PROJECTS

We aim to support Art projects using art as a tool to stimulate personal development. Read about it on our charity page.
