Committee News

Chair of The Arts Society Nottingham - Ilanah Dance

News from the Committee

Ilanah is now providing up to date information in the emails which are sent to members each month in the first week of the month. She also gives updates in the messages she gives members before introducing the speakers at the lectures. Anything important can be communicated faster and more easily in this way.  These communications are more direct than the website and more likely to be seen by members. The committee will continue to look at new ways of getting information to you.

Future Activities

Booking is still open for the Special Interest Day on 5 November 2026 at Broadway. Leslie Primo will give two lectures, The Foreign Invention of British Art, from Renaissance to Enlightenment and The Cult of Celebrity, Omai, the Exotic and Joshua Reynolds, under the heading for the day of The Art of Travel: A History of British Art. Full details and the booking form are at Special Interest Days

Committee Members

All the committee members listed here were re-elected at the AGM in October 2026. Anyone interested in joining the committee or wanting information about what we do should contact the Chair, Ilanah Dance, or any other committee member. Committee members can be co-opted during the year and then voted for at the AGM in 2027.  There is no need to wait until next year.

Heritage Volunteers Representative wanted

Because Vivienne Jarvis is taking on a new role on the Area Committee and is also Chair of the Trent Valley Society belonging to The Arts Society, we need to find a new representative of Heritage Volunteers to find and organise new projects. Help is provided from the East Midlands Area and their other member societies.  Anyone who is interested and would like more information should contact Hilary Olleson who heads the HV work for the East Midlands Area
