Being a member of The Arts Society Kensington & Chelsea automatically confers membership of The Arts Society to whom we are affiliated, receiving monthly newsletters and the quarterly Review magazine which, as well as interesting articles on the art world and exhibitions throughout the country, carries information on courses and in-depth study days run by the education department, on trips both in this country and abroad as well as their programme of lectures. The Arts Society membership card entitles holders to reduced entry to some galleries and exhibition and to participation in the Heritage Volunteer programme.

The Arts Society Kensington & Chelsea runs a programme of lectures held at the Kensington Library exclusively for their members, who also have access to visits both in London, throughout the country and overseas run exclusively for its members.

Lectures

Lectures are included in the annual subscription and the monthly lectures are held from October to July on Tuesdays at 10.30am and on Thursdays at 6.30pm. Lectures are held in the Kensington Central Library Lecture Hall entrance via 12 Phillimore Walk, which is also the entrance to the local Surgery. Members are asked to sign in at the door and to show their current membership.

As of October 2021, please note that Lectures will be either on ZOOM or in the Lecture Hall. This will be confirmed in the Lecture reminder emailed before each lecture.
