The National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies
When you join the Skipton & Wharfedale Decorative and Fine Arts Society, you automatically become a member of NADFAS, a registered charity consisting of 325 societies with a world-wide membership of 90,000 Its aims include the promotion of aesthetic education in the appreciation and study of the decorative and fine arts.
The organisation maintains a register of lecturers who are experts in their field of study and a glance at the facing page will confirm the quality and breadth of the programme. Optional study days and day visits give members the opportunity to learn about a subject in more depth, while the annual tour provides a stimulating and enjoyable break when members can travel further afield to visit interesting places in congenial company. Full details of activities are available at meetings.
NADFAS has a reputation for pioneering work in conservation and church recording and SWDFAS volunteers are currently involved in projects at the Bronte Parsonage, Haworth, and at Skipton Museum. Occasionally the society provides sponsorship for arts projects undertaken by young people in local schools.
