The Arts Society Mid Somerset, founded in 1991, is a member society of The Arts Society (the operating name of the National Association of Decorative and Fine Art Societies), formed in 1968 by the late Patricia Fay, OBE, to stimulate interest and to increase the knowledge of a wide field of fine arts subjects.

Lectures are held in Caryford Hall, Ansford, Castle Cary on the third Tuesday of the month, except for August and September when there are no lectures. The lectures commence at 11:00 am with teas and coffees available beforehand.

The ten Tuesday morning lectures, given by professional speakers, are our core activity for the year.  There are also visits to exhibitions, museums, art galleries, country houses and gardens.  The Society is a very friendly group of people who enjoy sharing the same interests.  

The affairs of the Society are managed by a committee of elected members.  The AGM is held in April.  Committee members and contact numbers are given on the Society Programme and Membership Card.
