Stevenage Arts Society
Stevenage
Arts Society (formerly known as Artists' Co-operative) is probably the
most active amateur art society in the country with at least three
exhibitions each year and working groups meeting on most days of the
week. Since 1972 the society's headquarters have been in Springfield
House in Stevenage High Street, where it has its own galleries,
pottery, workshop and private studios.
Artists' Co-operative was
conceived by a group of Stevenage painters and born in 1968 with the
stated aim of "Fostering the Arts in Stevenage". A totally amateur,
non-political and democratic organization, the society is run by an
executive committee which is elected each year at the annual general
meeting
For financial protection the
society recently formed Stevenage Arts Society Ltd. a non-profit
company limited by garauntee.
Membership of the society is
open to anyone interested in participating in the fine arts and willing
to abide by the society's rules and customs. An annual subscription of
£18 (£15 for OAPs and full time students) is levied and
anyone attending working group meetings is asked for a small fee at
each attendance.
Members are kept fully informed
of the comprehensive programme of Events and Activities organized
throughout the year.
