Formed in 1970 as West Essex Decorative and Fine Arts Society, the Arts Society West Essex decided to change its name in line with the rebranding of the national body.  This website explains who we are and what we do and we hope you enjoy discovering all about us. Our West Essex group has 280 members and a short waiting list and invites applications from those interested in joining our lectures, visits and social activities.
