Welcome to

The Arts Society
Marina Alta

We are a local society run by volunteers in Javea, Spain. It was established in 2017 with the objective to promote awareness and enjoyment of the arts, as well as enhancing knowledge of a broad canvas of related cultural subjects.

Enriching lives through the arts

Audiences 13.jpg

We, The Arts Society Marina Alta, bring people together through a shared curiosity for the arts. Our events provide welcoming places to hear expert lecturers share their specialist knowledge about the arts. The belief that the arts have the potential to enrich peoples' lives is at the heart of everything we do.​

We organise eight illustrated lectures per year, delivered by The Arts Society UK accredited presenters. The subjects include fine art, decorative art, performing arts, music, architecture and art appreciation.

UPCOMING EVENTS

We are pleased to announce commencing 8 May 2024 the 11:00 hrs. meetings will be held at Espai La Senieta, Avda Madrid, 15, Moraira instead of Salones Canor, Teulada. 

Doors open at 10:15 hrs.  Members are free and Day-Members are €15 pre-paid in advance.  Tickets are available to purchase on this HOME page.
