   Introduction

  

INTRODUCTION

The Brecknock Decorative & Fine Arts Society - founded in 1987 - is a member society of the National Association of Decorative & Fine Arts Societies (NADFAS).The centre of our activities is in Brecon, Powys and our members come from a wide surrounding area. Our objects are the promotion and advancement of the aesthetic education, the cultivation, appreciation and study of the decorative and fine arts, and the giving of aid to the preservation of our national heritage for the benefit of the public.

We fulfil our objects by:-
(a) the arrangement of Lectures and Study Days for members of the Society,
(b) the organisation of occasional outings and visits to private houses, gardens, museums, or exhibitions,
(c) the organisation of occasional longer trips - either to another region of Britain, or to an overseas area of interest,
(d) the promotion of activities such as Heritage Volunteers, Church Recording and Young Arts.

Membership is open to any adult, although we may need to restrict the number of members for practical reasons.
We are managed by an annually elected committee, the members of which are always eager to hear suggestions to improve the activities of the Society.

The Society is encouraging members to participate in various activities in the community related to decorative and fine arts. We have a small group which has been recently formed as part of the NADFAS project known as Heritage Volunteers and anyone interested in participating should contact Christina Gale.

First steps have been made towards establishing a Church Recording group. This is an activity throughout NADFAS, in which a group of members will record the details of the structure and contents of a local church, creating a record which can be maintained as a permanent history of that church. Members interested in participating in this activity should contact the Chairman,  Dorcas Cresswell.

We have also financially supported several artistic projects designed to interest young people in the Arts.  Any member wishing to make suggestions or offer assistance in this area should contact the Chairman, Dorcas Cresswell.
