About Us

Connect, Enrich, Inspire

We believe that the arts can enrich people’s lives, and we aim to be an inclusive and influential educator, supporter, and promoter of the arts Australia-wide.

WHAT IS ARTSNATIONAL?

We are a not-for-profit organisation run by volunteers, providing superbly illustrated, informative and entertaining lecture presentations on many diverse topics relating to the arts. In many communities, the local ArtsNational society has become the focus of cultural activities, connecting people with the arts, and with each other.

The ArtsNational is proud to be the governing body of 36 ArtsNational Societies and more than 5,500 members across regional and metropolitan Australia.


WHAT ELSE DO WE DO?

Most societies support young artists or young people to engage in the arts, many record the histories of School of Arts buildings or churches or the objects inside.

The Association supports young conservators through our philanthropic fund, the Patricia Robertson Fund.
