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.

No, it is not required. If you are bringing a guest, they must purchase a ticket for 15€ on the website in advance.

Annual General Meeting News- 4 February 2026
Tony Cabban accepts Chairman Emeritus Award!
A tribute to Tony's 10 years of service to The Arts Society Marina Alta. Tony is the Founder of our Society and has now decided to move on to other challenges working with The Arts Society's chapters in Europe.
MEMBER SPOTLIGHT:
Yvonne Osborne, who is a TASMA volunteer, was a Property Manager/Curator for the National Trust for nearly 15 years. Prior to that, having been brought up abroad in West Africa and the Lebanon, Yvonne worked for the United Nations and various embassies in the Gulf States, as well for the US Embassy in Afghanistan. In between, Yvonne studied archaeology in Rome. All in all, she garnered perfect qualifications for working for the National Trust, i.e. knowledge of art and history, conversing with the public and steadiness under fire. We like to think we have a female Indiana Jones and James Bond in our midst. For more detail on Yvonne's story, please link to: (full story attached.)

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 helping with special community projects.
There are ongoing opportunities to become a volunteer or join the Committee. If you are interested, please contact:
