Welcome to the web site of The Arts Society Farnham
Join us on Tuesday October 20th to hear about Constantin Brancusi and 20th Century sculpture with David Worthington.
Son of a Romanian peasant Brancusi became one of the most important sculptures of his era. We explore how he combined his native woodworking tradition with a Belle Arts fine art training.

TAS Farnham is one of the largest Decorative and Fine Arts Societies in the UK and was founded in 1983. We hold 10 lectures a year on the third Tuesday of each month, except July and August. Meetings are usually held at 10.30 in the Great Hall of the Maltings which seats 320 people. Situated in the centre of Farnham, The Maltings has a car park and small cafe, an ideal place to meet up for coffee.
