If you are interested in Art in all its forms and you live in the Chilterns, our Society may be for you.

We invite you to explore this website to find out more about our activities. The Arts Society Chiltern & Chalfont has grown from a small group set up by Patricia Fay that first met in 1965 to study and enjoy the fine arts and antiques to a thriving society of 200-odd members.

The original concept of promoting education, appreciation and conservation in the Fine Arts grew and led to the formation of many other societies, at first united in CADFAS, leading to the setting up of the national and worldwide NADFAS, later to be re-named "The Arts Society".

As of 1st September, 2024, two of the historical societies, Chiltern and Chalfont, merged to become The Arts Society Chiltern & Chalfont

We meet for regular lectures on art-related subjects given by outstanding speakers; we have special interest days, day trips to venues of interest and cultural tours; and we have many volunteering opportunities in helping to preserve our heritage as well as promoting Young Arts programmes. Come and join us!
