SOCIETY AREA FOR MEMBERS & FRIENDS
​
This is our Society page for new information about memberships, social events, trips and frequently asked questions. If you have any suggestions for The Committee please email us at: marinaalta@theartssociety.org.
​
Membership and Events New Payment Information:
For ease of payments, we initiated a pay online credit card system. We are asking for future payments to be made with Spanish bank cards due to the high fees charged The Society from use of foreign-based bank cards.
Frequently Asked Questions:
​​​
Do members need to register for the lectures?
No, it is not required. If you are bringing a guest, they must purchase a ticket for 15€ on the website in advance.
​
Can I pay cash for a guest ticket at the event registration? No, this is prohibited due to the City Council conditions of use of the lecture halls.

JOIN OUR VOLUNTEERS
Our volunteers offer their time and energy to the inspiration, vision and management of the Society - and they also get something back from volunteering – making new friends and enjoying the knowledge that they are making a difference by supporting our Society’s mission.
Volunteering is easy. We have many areas you may find that fit your interests - from working on the Travel Team to organizing cultural and social trips, to assisting the Hosting Team who offer accommodations in their homes for our visiting lecturers. The Meet & Greet Team arranges for our lecturers’ transportation needs, while we also have volunteers working on art projects for our local charity.
There are ongoing opportunities to become a volunteer or join the Committee. If you are interested, please contact Tony Cabban, Chairman via email: ch.marinaalta@theartssociety.org
