About the Society

Founded in 1964 for all those interested in art in Faringdon and The Vale, Faringdon Art Society (FAS) is run on a 'not for profit' basis and currently has over one hundred members.

The society welcomes anyone with an interest in shape, colour, form, movement, texture and the expression of it in paint, ink, pencil, stone, clay, pottery, wood etc, whether you are a leisure artist, a professional, or just someone that enjoys looking at works of art. 
Our members pay an annual subscription of £10 which entitles them to:
  • Bi-monthly newsletter
  • An online gallery page (if wanted)
  • Exhibit work at our annual exhibition held in the Autumn each year
  • Join the FAS organised coach trips to national galleries and art events throughout the country, members benefit from a discounted price. 
  • Attend workshops that are organised throughout the year covering different mediums and styles. These are open to anyone but full members will be given priority and pay a discounted price.
  • Online Art Talks.
  • Artistic Craft Fair space (subject to application)​
  • All members can attend the monthly talks and demonstrations, organized by Stanford in the Vale & Wantage Art Groups, with whom FAS is closely affiliated.
As the membership includes many working artists, FAS also runs a weekly and informal drop-in  art morning on a Wednesday. This is open to members and non-members alike and has proven to be a good introduction to art and the society. Just come along and 'give it a go'.
